At dVerse Laura is hosting Meeting the Bar with an invitation to write about fragments.
dVerse Poets – Meeting the Bar – Picking Up Some Pieces
“Poetry is what he turns to these days, finding in its fragmentation the proper echo of the disintegrating world.” Lauren Groff
Never Fragments These never days, the worst of days, such sad songs of Narcissus from his unrippled lily pond like all the ancients, ever since wrapped in their complete cocoon, knowing only their own codes of something akin to managersim, worse than Mussolini's trains and, whatever you do, do not offer any critique of those whose brittle egos flag when rules are flaunted like Ballerinas legs as fading swans are wont to go, and nary a smile raised, and if ever, only for show.

Holding it together has never been more difficult; nor has it ever been more necessary. If at all possible, do no harm. The fabric of the universe may be depending on it.

O absolutely Lisa, it is very much depending.
