April 1st on June 8th

There are only two or three human stores, 

and they go on repeating themselves 

as if they had never happened before.

Wander Far Away

A lovely discovery by Arthur Rimbaud:
----
Sensation
Through blue summer nights I will pass along paths,
Pricked by wheat, trampling short grass:
Dreaming, I will feel coolness underfoot,
Will let breezes bathe my bare head.
-----
Not a word, not a thought:
Boundless love will surge through my soul,
And I will wander far away, a vagabond
In Nature -- as happily as with a woman.

Dice Were Cast

A poem by Yannis Ritsos. From Clay.


Clay: 33

He took off
his beautiful mask
and placed it
on the bed.
His face completely
incomprehensible
appeared bloody.
Then the dice were cast.
