The Consolation Of Poetry The terrible truth in the dust at your feet: you exist but you might not. And yet, some recompense: a wisp of white goose down magically skating across the lake-- amid trash, a violet flowering-- in a pool on a parking lot after a rain, the pearl of a cloud drifting-- and best: the file of your life thrown on the bonfire, ash and sparks rising, the metaphor. |
