The windmill, long out of use, screeches
and twists in the wind.
Spring day, too loud for talk,
when bones tire of their flesh
and want something better.

... when you step out
into the night, how the night sky
falls into your hair—
when I think of how you stand
as if nothing in your hands
and I have nothing to offer you now
save my own wild emptiness—
~ Cecilia Woloch, from Grace

know, everything is urgent and sad, and impossible right now, this instant. We need to take a break for the infinite, now and again... Gratitude for Michael Simms and VoxPopuliSphere. 💙

Thomas A. Thomas: While hearing the poet
when love was blue water in a green cathedral under a new blue sky and the water fell from cliff stone into sun-sparkled air

There is so much my eyes have seen,
that my hands have done, and yet
I know almost nothing. How many losses
will it take for something like wisdom to set in?

The greening time... lay down your arms and your worries, a moment or three... deep breath... then move forward as you are able.
