If we knew how to find the lost, we would know how to rediscover the parts of our mindsleft behindin battle.
I don’t understand the whole thrilling verse, but I love the way poetry turns ordinary words into winged things that rise up and soar!
I would have run awayInto the forestTo live in a nestMade of dreamsAnd green leaves
Slavery all day,and then, suddenly, by nightfall- freedom!
Night simply drapes itself over the dayAs if someone had lowered a curtain.The sky glitters and moves,Filled with shooting stars and fireflies.
The child tells me her grandmothershowed her how to cure sadness by sucking the juice of an orange, while standing on a beach.Toss the peels onto a wave.Watch the sadness float away.
There is no place more lonelyThan a rich man’s home.
Can it be true that freedom only exists when it is a treasure, shared by all?
I can’t understand why dark northern soldiers and light ones are seperated into different brigades. The dead are all buried together in hasty mass graves, bones touching.
Marriage without love is just one more twisted form of slavery.
