His eyes dimmed by age
fade homeward through the humid monsoon night.
Now I can see him getting off the train
Like a word dropped from a long sentence.

How else do we return to ourselves but to fold
The page so it points to the good part
What we’ll always have is something we lost

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.

The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.

What Does Poetry Save You From?
Linda Pastan
From the pale silence of morning
and the din
of afternoon.
From the flight into darkness
of those
I continue to love.

Lunacy, by Francis Rosenfeld
Spoken Word Poetry
Have you ever watched the moon rise on the ocean
on a bright summer night
when all the stars are out
and by their light alone, you see your shadow?

In the wide-open field
the stars rest on my shoulder,
the immense vista of silence
between the lines,
waits at the edge of the sleep,

When I Was Straight, by Julie Marie Wade
I did not love women as I do now.
I loved them with my eyes closed, my back turned.
I loved them silent, & startled, & shy.
