You’d have to go all the way back to Ezra Pound for “good art” from this part of the political spectrum.

threnody

in the cool of evening
red leaves scattering
by a gate now closing
while flowers go dying
granite keeps naming
the raindrops rippling
granite keeps naming
a red leaf's scattering
and an evening rippling

Hold me like the wind
holds the kite, effortlessly.

Unnoticed.

Keep blowing your word,
your breath forged in the stars.

The Sea and the Man

You will not tame this sea
either by humility or rapture.
But you can laugh
in its face.

Laughter
was invented by those
who live briefly
as a burst of laughter.

The eternal sea
will never learn to laugh.

—Anna Swir trans. Czeslaw Milosz & Leonard Nathan

Roundelay

on all that strand
at end of day
steps sole sound
long sole sound
until unbidden stay
then no sound
on all that strand
long no sound
until unbidden go
steps sole sound
long sole sound
on all that strand
at end of day

—Samuel Beckett

I am $500 from a milestone on the Help Hope Live that would help with paying for the biopsy, the consult at the U, meds, RX sunscreen & EEG! This fundraiser is scam proof because I can't even access the $ w/out a receipt & it's tax deductible!
