Evening

Conversation about the weather is the last refuge of the unimaginative.
-Oscar Wilde

But, I do miss the sun, the warmth, the crowds of people walking, strolling, dancing, playing. Sometimes we may have to check what the weather is, not only to prepare ourselves, but to …

Don't Forget To Look Up

"These are the soul's changes. I don't believe in ageing. I believe in forever altering one's aspect to the sun. Hence my optimism."
-Virginia Woolf

Missing

"I love thee to the level of everyday's most quiet need,by sun and candle light...I love thee with the breath,smiles,tears,of all my life." - Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 - 1861)

Walk With Me

I have lost friends, some by death... others through sheer inability to cross the street. -Virginia Woolf, The Waves

The End of Summer

"Every season is likeable, and wet days and fine, red wine and white, company and solitude. Even sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life, can be full of dreams; and the most common actions--a walk, a talk, solitude in one's own orchard--can be enhanced and …

Nature and Sex

"Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious: both are disappointed." -Oscar Wilde

Is Summer Over?

The Schoolboy
by William Blake (from Songs of Experience, 1794)


I love to rise in a summer morn,
When the birds sing on every tree;
The distant huntsman winds his horn,
And the skylark sings with me:
O what sweet company!

But to go to school in a summer morn, --
O it drives all …

Departures

To look life in the face, always, to look life in the face and to know it for what it is. At last to know it, to love it for what it is, and then, to put it away. Leonard, always the years between us, always the years. Always the love. Always the hours. -Virginia Woolf

Movements...

There are those who are never content. They live their lives in some form of pretense, some form of fiction, some form of illusion. The environments they create only perpetuate their illusions of an alter-ego. They are loved for their suavity, articulateness, and …

Musings....

Listening to ambient sounds,
It tries to calm the evening.
I am inside a room, anxious.
I want to go out.
The moon tonight says "No" stay inside.
I ask "Why".
Silence. Ambient tunes continue.

There is no EXCUSE for Racism...

"Prepare yourself for suffering if you intend to be close to him."

I saw this tonight...

Who Would Cast the First Stone?

"Bloody Mother Fucking Asshole"
Martha Wainwright

Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
And I'm young & I'm strong
But I feel old & tired
Overfired

And I've been poked & stoked
It's all smoke, there's no more fire
Only desire
For you, whoever you are
For you, whoever you …
