How I Wish To Live
How I Wish To Live belongs to the following groups:
All Things Poetic, Artistic, PhilosophicalAs if I stood in the long blond wild oats
of an twilight field, mesmerizing crickets;
as if by pounding a great drum
late at night, I fixed the stars in their sockets;
as if at dawn I gathered bracken dew
and fed the last sequoia; as though by afternoon
my shallow curve of life stretched
to form the perfect arc—echoing
the passage of the moon.
