“Wear scarlet! Tear the green lemons
off the tree! I don’t want
to forget who I am, what has burned in me,
and hang limp and clean, an empty dress.”

On the best of days she just follows the seasons by means of bike, skis, or roller-skates.

heating and scorching
but like the moon
keeping secrets
and the arcane magic of the night
throwing stars
in the lilacs’ claws
till dawn.” -Iulia Halatz
Odd you should post that quotation this morning. Another ‘coincidence’? You can decide when I finish the post I began earlier this morning, probably much later today. One thing I have in common with Dernise Levertov: I too in later life have decided that beauty and poetry cannot go together with politics.

Odd that I changed the post. I wanted to post something else. “Coincidence” :).
You and Denise are right.
Earlier in my life I was invited to join politics. I thought then it could be an adventure. I like people and giving speeches. But out of a sudden I changed my mind.
Anyway out of that adventure I remain with a dream of starting something about political marketing. Maybe later 🙂
Thank you Roger!
