A welcome and a thank-you to number 31--"fmklalex'-- for coming on board; wish I could tell you more about him/her but that's all I know!

Transient

We don't forget,
but something vacant settles in us.
—Roland Barthes, from “Mourning Diary”


This time whatever that something is
isn’t checking in just for the duration.


NB: My thanks to Bob Arnold for this one.

Revisionist Poetics


Of what is left, suppress
What’s worthless, surely

Whatever’s priceless
Rewrites the rest.

It’s ridiculous humoring poets who now think
Their work has turned grave—

These people were clowns way back when 
They thought they were dead serious.
