THE LAST MONKEY~

 

Once there was a goat

in my mother's village

that would dance while

the old knew to ignore

the affairs of the world

HANNAH ARENDT (POEMS) ~

 

The end of days

the threshold of evenings

still it is not night

still the birds take flight

still the trees stretch out.

Soon it blows cooler,

the night and the dream.

~

And no record

of those days

tangled into one another

devoured by flames

that burned us:

The wounds of happiness

Become stigmas, not scars.

There would be no record,

if your account

had not been imparted —

poetic language

is a place, not a refuge.

~

I love the earth,

as if traveling

to a foreign place

and not otherwise.

So life spins me

quietly on its thread

into unknown designs.

Until suddenly,

like a journey's farewell —

the great silence cuts the thread.
