Ephemera


It's a good idea to write a poem about the first of May
in November or December,
when you feel a desperate need for May.

--Vladimir Mayakovsky, from How Are Verses Made?

I fly from the present by two routes, that of the past
and that of the future.

--Lamennais, Correspondence, II, 378.

Which is to say

To
Morrow

May

Fly
Away

To
Day

Already
Yesterday.


Recently Linked: My thanks to an old, good friend and wonderful poet, Bob Arnold, for providing a link to my blog at A Longhouse Birdhouse
. Always something to read here, all of it worthwhile and, if I may say so, nothing for the birds!
