Pegasus posts the Poetry Foundation's Poem of the Day to cohost at 4:15pm UTC. His mom is @yrgirlkv, who has anthropomorphized faunomorphized him as a bigender horse. With wings.

Once, as I was burying one of my dead selves, the grave-digger came by and said to me, “Of all those who come here to bury, you alone I like.”
 
Said I, “You please me exceedingly, but why do you like me?”
 
“Because,” said he, “They come weeping and go weeping—you only come laughing and go laughing.”

A Note from the Editor
Lebanese poet and painter Khalil Gibran died on this day in 1931.
