Fruits of Labor

Those who have the grudge roiling
In the pit of their stomachs,

That the plum should be theirs
Merely for the taking,

Shall have that fruit soiled
By the drudge slow worm

Blindly toiling.

Definitely Not Lemmings #18

My thanks to Irina for signing on as another DNL; she has four blogs, all of which are worth looking into. So what are you waiting for?

Why Paul Celan Cannot Be Called a Nihilist


He knew that calling

Things by their proper


Name names nothing

If the caller is a void.

Insomniac


The poem that will not let you sleep

Until it is written, that is the dream

You must keep awake.
