Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Like glass, concealed but not lost in light,
contains in its light a certain unseeable thickness,
I saw the half moon sitting in a tree at dawn
lit with interior darkness.
I saw the ground was gone and all
along that gloom the little glows of cars
vanished away; a black unseeable bird
intermittently blew the infinite song in its centre.
I saw a woman in a shell;
I saw two people lying stoney still
in the durable darkness of flesh
move their mouths as if to suck at darkness.
And when I touched their mouths,
I saw the outward closing in its inward eye,
I saw the real unseeable sun in the sun, rise
in a region of shadow cut off from its own flames.
