The Freedom of May

< THE  FREEDOM  OF  MAY 

						 to  Jerome  Rothenberg
						          a  sun-lizard
						  µ?a sa??a  t??  ?????
						     (?anos  Valaoritis)


		May  cannot  be  defeated
		except  the  mountains
		and  the  sea
		perpendicular
		comes  closer  to  prophesies


		life  and  chance
		dare  to  disturb  poetry
		make  existence  seem  complete


		meaning  falls  away
		from  resting
		in  silence
		lights  the  voice
		of  blind



		October  is  the  cruelest  month
		for  the  Irish
		and  Norway  falls  far  away
		from  dreams


		we  resist
		     expressionism
			        tradition
				  and   variations  of  humans


                           o   sorrows
                           o  sadness
                           o  laments



                                        cymbals   of   tongues.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
