Newspeak(s)

It is difficult to get the news from poems yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there. --- William Carlos Williams

Sunday, July 31

Love Rises


Sometimes poetry is unleashed from
A patch filled with weeds
Ripped out on a sunny afternoon
And planted with lilies

Love rises from
The ache of his muscles,
The steam of southern summers,
The toil of his hands
In unyielding earth
