You may own a half a city
Even diamonds and pearls
You may buy that plane baby
And fly all over this world
Don't care how great you are
And I don't care what you worth
Because when it all end up
You got to go back to Mother Earth

Monet’s “Waterlilies”
by Robert Hayden
Today as the news from Selma and Saigon
poisons the air like fallout,
I come again to see
the serene great picture that I love.
Here space and time exist in light
the eye like the eye of faith believes.

Satori
-Mark Smith-Soto
In the budding white morning I crawl
out of bed and wander barefoot down
the stairs and yawn into the kitchen
where you’re making coffee, and I
see a woman making coffee and wearing
what must be my red shirt, and I watch
her move sternly as [...]

Open and Closed Spaces
-Tomas Tranströmer
A man feels the world with his work like a glove.
He rests for a while at midday and has laid his gloves on the shelf.
Where they suddenly grow, spreading out
and darkening the whole house from within.

Ode to a Large Tuna in the Market
-Pablo Neruda
Here,
among the market vegetables,
this torpedo
from the ocean
depths,
a missile
that swam,
now
lying in front of me
dead.
Surrounded
by the earth's green froth
—these lettuces,

Wallace Stevens' OF MERE BEING
The palm at the end of the mind,
Beyond the last thought, rises
In the bronze decor,
A gold-feathered bird
Sings in the palm, without human meaning,
Without human feeling, a foreign song.

The Sound of Trees
-Robert Frost
I wonder about the trees.
Why do we wish to bear
Forever the noise of these
More than another noise
So close to our dwelling place?
We suffer them by the day
Till we lose all measure of pace,
And fixity in our joys,

Falling
-Esperanza Snyder

Nothing about heartbreak. In Madrid,
we drank coffee spiked with cognac, walked

painting of Guernica—and we had dark,
