"I especially liked the notion that all poems are written after falling asleep over a book." (via Mefi)

"My life
  by water—
    Hear

spring's
  first frog
    or board

out on the cold
  ground
    giving

Muskrats
  gnawing
    doors

to wild green
  arts and letters
    Rabbits

raided
  my lettuce
    One boat

two—
  pointed toward
    my shore

thru birdstart
  wingdrip
    weed-drift

of the soft
  and serious—
    Water"

Colonialism is one of Humanity's Core Wounds.

" 'O Greeks! Your weapons had more force than sense.
Why did you feel afraid of this young boy?
Strange and unnatural killing...'

So many children dead)"
