LEAVE ME HIDDEN
Franz Wright
I was having trouble deciding
which to watch: Night
of the Living Bloggers, or
Attack of the Neck-Brace People.
In the end I just went for a walk.
In the woods I stopped wondering why
of all trees
this one: my hand
pressed to fissures
and ridges of
bark’s hugely magnified
fingerprint, forehead
resting against it
finally, feeling
distinctly
a heartbeat, vast, silently
booming there deep in
my hidden leaves, blessed
motherworld, personal
underworld, thank you
thank you.

ReplyDelete1)i liked the franz wright poem

2a)my attempted comment there today was in relation to trump entering the hall of robot presidents at disneyworld - the last time i was there - quite a while ago - robot abraham lincoln gave an amazing speech (which the audience applauded, of course) - amazing in its emptiness of meaning - the disney people could have had robot lincoln use one of lincoln's real speeches, but they didn't want to do that - the show must go on
3)speaking of whiteness as a plague, as does one of the things you point to today, this has come to my attention:
