Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.”

ANOTHER YEAR COME
By #WSMerwin

I have nothing new to ask of you,
Future, heaven of the poor.

I am still wearing the same things.
I am still begging the same question
By the same light,
Eating the same stone,

And the hands of the clock still knock without entering.

why are you falling and they answered

I AM NEVER ALL OF ME
By #WSMerwin

I am never all of me
unto myself
and sometimes I go slowly
knowing that a sound one sound
is following me from world
to world
and that I die each time
before it reaches me

We had a chance to visit the Merwin Conservancy in Haiku Maui today. Beyond his prolific writings, Merwin left an inspiring legacy of restoration and healing of ravaged lands. #WSMerwin #poetry #maui

you can’t you can never be sure
you die without knowing
whether anything you wrote was any good
if you have to be sure don’t write

BERRYMAN
by #WSMerwin

I will tell you what he told me
in the years just after the war
as we then called
the second world war

don’t lose your arrogance yet he said
you can do that when you’re older
lose it too soon and you may
merely replace it with vanity

For the Anniversary of My Death Every year without knowing it I have passed the day    When the last fires will wave to me And the silence will set out Tireless traveler Like the beam of a lightless star Then I will no longer Find ...

There has been a definite shift in my writing - a reunion of sorts. Re-reading WS Merwin's poem, "For the Anniversary of My Death," because it came up as I wrote... love these words.

He was old he is not real nothing is real
Nor the noise of death drawing water

We are the echo of the future

On the door it says what to do to survive
But we were not born to survive
Only to live

Once once and once
In the same city I was born
Asking what shall I say

He will have fallen into his mouth
Men think they are better than grass

I return to his voice rising like a forkful of hay
