But O for glimpses, obstacles to climb, impossibilities at some trembling start; that first remote connection out of time, that hint of the essential human heart.

As long as you hear these verse there is hope: Some girl should weep, some lovesick boy, shall sing, these songs will guide our hearts to leap! For you, I offer this very page in hope that joy might spring from our age Prologue Above the shores of northern lakes amidst green towers, and late spring snow the golden chains of sunlight forsake the freedom of the thither we might go. A lettered cat slides slight in brush like shadowed thoughts that lurk along a slow walk round and push for prey; a painful dirty silent work To right she stalks, and sees the shade; To left she creeps, and knows the tale. What Miracle! An meaty Angel's Wings High o'er red pine, a feast, a foe Too Large, Too Live, Too strong to sing the ritual ignorance of a beast unknown. A lettered man's callous empty eyes, build a hut without a door or window, For him the prey is not too big or wise thus he plans, and plots and preens although In the wooded valley where, above, an eagle waits, below, a turkey strolls, and either may be dire fate Wild tall Scholar, Holy Hunter or a gentile Mannered Mystic swat of dawn from gray blue mottled want of sky before the hunt for our symbols can go on. Oh Bitter Miracle! The endless squawk, the wishbones uncracked and ready as they feed by rough ice worn rock, the feast of Stephan, as he feints right, and yelps, and cries out, "See!" feints left, alas, for a moment's assymetry. All winds breathe of hope,fair change Once friends, and the new friends a twitter with symbols high and low both seeming strange seeds like words from oak fall and flitter to a groundless ground I can't recall to a soundless song, of one and all. ... more Stephan Anstey Bam.

We were afraid of him but we wanted to respect him even though he’d collapsed his veins and wore shades to protect his bloodshot orbs. My mother prayed because there wasn’t any other hope for us. We were a near fatherless group of four living in a trailer a mile outside of town, but Mom never complained about our bastard lives. He loved us with a deadbeat father’s half-hearted devotion, and I’m sure he was always gone to keep us from the line of fire. They found him in a ditch when I was eleven, and we buried him in another with the help of a local church where Mom spent most of her time. She was the exhausted demigod to Dad’s total devil but we were too young to know why she was tired. Now she rests the way an angel might that had outlasted hell. If only we could learn to sleep so furiously. ... more Suter Bill The imPersonal Space of rws Wed, 18 Mar 2009 12:45:59 GMT /section-416-the-impersonal-space-of-rws#comments 0 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/post.php/article/11090 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/comments/feed.php/article/11090 https://dev.shakespearesmonkeys.com/links/trackback.php?anchor=article%3A11090
