To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is travelled by dark feet and dark wings.

--Wendell Berry.

The poets are returning. ✨

When the nukes start flying,
when we see the mushroom cloud growing on the horizon,
when reality comes crashing down in the most overt way possible,
when the realization slowly dawns that this really is the end,
none of our old stuff will matter anymore.

If this was your son
you would fill the sea with ships of any flag.
But don't worry.

He is not your son.
You can sleep peacefully.
And above all of course,
He is not your son.

He is just a lost son of humanity,
Dirty mankind, that makes no noise.

He's not your son
Marco Leoni

This poem by Laura Gilpin is going viral again with a new generation and I completely understand why...

[Nine Arches Press @NineArchesPress]

Peter Kahn reads '...Till it's Gone' a Golden Shovel after Joni Mitchell. Taken from his recently published debut collection Little Kings. Enjoy this great reading, this excellent example of a poetic form that pays respect to words that came before.
