“Politics” by Kyla Houbolt, from her forthcoming book, *Becoming Altar* asterismbooks.com/product/beco... @luaz.bsky.social

Politics

The prairie frogs and the swamp frogs disagree on many things. Chief among the points at issue is that the prairie frogs claim they can jump higher farther and faster than the swamp frogs because they are not waterlogged. The swamp frogs take offense at the epithet "waterlogged" and fire back with the word "desiccated", which sets the prairie frogs into a predictable tizzy. The Ancients of both groups do not even try to interfere in this dispute, though they know from their own ancestors that once the prairie was swamp, and the swamp, prairie. Instead, they (the Ancients) relish these times of fuss and bother because it means they can feed in peace on the insect life that becomes agitated into flurries of flight by the frog-jumping competitions that ensue. Although they are called on to judge these competitive games, they always refuse with a platitude, such as "It's best to share knowledge among tribes" or "One day you will all evolve beyond the need to prove yourselves" or "Once you are Ancients, you will understand why we say no" but the real reasons are the abundance of food (those bothered insects) and genuine boredom with the young and their egos. The Ancients congratulate themselves that they no longer have bothersome egos, of course, while plotting against each other for best position in the feeding grounds. They - the Ancients of swamp and prairie - have to pretend not to associate with each other, but All Frog is One, as they are fond of saying, so it's only that tribal enmity that keeps the young unaware of their pretense.
And the snakes? The snakes laugh and laugh, as they pick off the unaware and fill their bellies.

“Ethics” by Kyla Houbolt, from her forthcoming book, *Becoming Altar* asterismbooks.com/product/beco... @luaz.bsky.social

Ethics

Is it ethical to be a frog when the snow is on the ground? To be a frog in winter, in a sound mind and body of amphibious elegance? It isn't right! sing the bugs in their dens, we never got a chance to have amphibious elegance, we only got chitinous chic which is far far less groovy. The bugs grouse among themselves, crowding the rotting tree trunks, clicking and whirring and taking committee votes. But the unconcerned frog, who is not hungry for bug at the moment, casts no stones. There is no call to fiddle with all them bugs! thinks the frog to itself, preening in its winter mudhole. Meanwhile, Creator, in the form of Raven, listens in with amusement. None of these creatures knows what's to come, or how blessed their lives are. Though that smug frog might need to be taken down a peg or two, he thinks. Maybe it's time to send in the crows. And of course the poets are listening to all this, and each one is writing notes, and all the notes are different. This is the blessing and the curse of poetry: that it never agrees and that it never agrees. Ethics? Maybe in the spaces between.

Thank you 🖤

For what it's worth, concurrent with related therapy breakthroughs, all the best French bsky* people (e.g. you!!) have done a world of good for my ability to process French language, news etc with a markedly lower flashback/anxiety risk than before 🕊️
