Rattling the Windows

Thoughts of a Solitary Farmhouse by Franz Wright

And not to feel bad about dying.   

Not to take it so personally—

it is only
the force we exert all our lives

to exclude death from our thoughts   
that confronts us, when it does arrive,

as the horror of being excluded— …
something like that, the Canadian wind

coming in off Lake Erie
rattling the windows, horizontal snow

appearing out of nowhere
across the black highway and fields like billions of white bees.

"I’m not interested in blind optimism, but I’m very interested in optimism that is hard-won, that takes on darkness and then says, ‘This is not enough.’ But it takes time, more time than we can sometimes imagine, to get there. And sometimes we don’t."

— The genius of Colum McCann

Skyward for Joy

Green by Charles Douthat

Some days I walk down the street
where we lived and the fat man 
who stole  tomatoes
sits under the same old sycamore 
tapping out his angry rhythms 
on the knotted roots.  And though
the children are no longer ours, 
the oaks are no less generous 
to the sidewalks with their shade.  
Overhead, sweet air still arrives 
through many simple branches—
some reaching skyward for joy,
others downcast for a reason.  
We were like good trees
the years we lived on this street.  
We were so green.  Fresh as leaves.
And the days whispered through us.

"Flesh proved vulnerable, as flesh is wont to do, but the spirit merely trembled before recasting itself into something stronger than any bomb or rage."
