…
Fog in the mornings, hunger for clarity
coffee and bread with sour plum jam.
Numbness of soul in placid neighborhoods.
Lives ticking on as if.
A typewriter’s torrent, suddenly still…
Whatever you bring in your hands, I need to see it…
A cat drinks from a bowl of marigolds – his moment.
Surely the love of life is never-ending…
~ Adrienne Rich, from “To The Days” in Dark Fields of the Republic: Poems 1991-1995
