give me peace, from matters.
I always answer: better than A wind from the pine-trees
And bright with the mountain moon.

Hark, there's a fisherman singing!

Think not,
That I see you there;
You may, as you show
No story of the dead
Would leave with the devil,
The woods were golden
Through beeches;
Truth heard me learn again
(Blackout of Another Dark Lady by Edwin Arlington Robinson)
light cage up in the air,
freeing, a million birds wild ascending shadows
come falling down.
The rain is brightening now. The face is pale
the puzzle solved with an unexpected kiss,
freckled hands alit.

Hiding the past
Live fully

Cumulus clouds
clouds you learned to draw
the symbol of all clouds
like the snowflake symbolizes winter.
rounded, puffy, and a brilliant white bottoms are flat and dark.
develop on clear, sunny days
nickname
"fair weather" clouds.
appear in the late morning,
grow,
disappear toward evening.
I'm almost disappointed
when
the pot of tea is
off the stove.
I forgot
her.
She stands next to me,
unconvinced.
I step aside
and let her
weep and wail.
She's here
for a few more days
and I will
figure this out.
She was sick
for years.

Eye contact is
grey and clear.
I don't hear
screaming...
then
two small children
fidget
and speak in
fortifying walls...
and then
my lips are parched
and I can't swallow.
I marvel at them,
like two white doves
waiting to take flight.
I tilt my head
to see
flesh
and bone
and ash.

I am going whether in rain or heat,
and sometimes
my voice seems strange as if
it were alien to me,
I'm not certain whose voice is crying:
I cry to sustain me.
The poets cry for more.
In the end I cover both my eyes;
there in my hands as if at rest,
one may think I had place
upon to lay my head.
(Blackout of The Song Of The Beggar by Rainer Maria Rilke)
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing me a song, ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
A song of ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ tropical trees,
Of islands ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
Of fishes and corals ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
And seahorses ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
Sea Shell, Sea Shell,
Sing of the things you know so well.
(Blackout of Sea Shell by Amy Lowell)
He shakes his head
against the linoleum.
I watch him rinse his mug
with my eyes closed
before the sound of the mug
shatters into pieces
just like the occasion.
I stare at him for a moment,
a ghost.
I thought I heard him
raise his eyebrows.
I just dropped my head.
"You're not real. You're dead."

Miraculous ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ stone
Against ¦¦¦ blue miraculous skies,
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ towers and turrets rise
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ arches that enthrone
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ wonder of the skies.
Softly ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ spreads its wings;
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ belfry sings.
¦¦¦¦¦¦ Ascension Day ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ shadow of those wings!
(Blackout of At Burgos by Arthur Symons)
A library, a ¦¦¦¦¦¦ spot, ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
Where treasures ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ patiently await,
Forgotten times whispered ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
And hidden gems unveiled at last.
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
In this haven ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ we're free to dare.
Optimism fills the air ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
Wisdom the library does provide.
(Blackout of Knowledge to Share by Catherine Pulsifer)
In this ¦¦¦¦¦¦ where each breath we ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ leads to
a new sorrow, it is better never to breathe an instant
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ a cup of ¦¦¦¦ in hand. When the ¦¦¦¦¦¦ of
Aurora makes itself felt, arise and, ¦¦¦¦ after time, empty
the cup, ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ I have told ¦¦¦¦ this Dawn will breathe
for long, ¦¦¦¦ years when we no longer ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
(Blackout of In this world, where each breath we breathe leads to by Omar Khayyam)
Sun ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ melancholy star!
Whose ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ beam glows tremulously far,
That show'st the darkness thou canst not dispel,
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
So gleams ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ the light of other days,
Which shines, ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
A night-beam Sorrow ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
Distinct but distant ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ oh how cold!
(Blackout of Sun of the Sleepless! by George (Lord) Byron)
Love is ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦

Blotting ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
Symptoms of ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ omens and nightmares -

¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
In a darkened room,

(Blackout of Symptoms of Love by Robert Graves)
my simple and tranquil sweetheart,
how much even of a day,
reawakens in all those who are returning at dawn
beneath a tree
watching earnestly
at eyes still bright with having seen you.
I kiss fingers that have touched words they would not understand;
I listen a long while to the rhythm of their shadow where the old evenings hold night prone.
(Blackout of Tell me my simple and tranquil sweetheart by Emile Verhaeren)
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ cock-sparrow ¦¦¦ on a green tree,
¦¦¦ he chirruped, ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ so merry ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦
A ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ boy came with his ¦¦¦ bow and arrow,
¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ to shoot this ¦¦¦¦¦¦ cock-sparrow.
"This ¦¦¦¦¦¦ cock-sparrow shall make ¦¦¦ a stew,
And ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ pie, too."
¦¦¦¦ no," says the sparrow "I won't ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ he flapped his wings ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ he flew.

To ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ under cover of night.
To follow ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ your shadow at the window.
That shadow at the window is you and no one else;
¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
Do ¦¦¦ open that window behind whose curtains you're moving.
¦¦¦¦ your eyes.
I'd like to shut them with my lips.
But the window opens ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ the breeze
which ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ balances flame and flag surrounds my escape
with its cloak.
The window opens: it's not you.
I knew it all along.
WHAT
fair and narrow,
dungeon cave,
The picture of thy mind.
art thou, brave;
were but fools,
Not one of them a knave.
Bright thy line, sire!
So ran the way,
And ended in a mire.
Spare me
let me live:
I ask no kindness at thy hand,
For thou hast none to give.
(Blackout of 422. Epigrams against the Earl of Galloway by Robert Burns)
Vote on a partner
limiting fighting increasing diplomats;
It’s a moment for supporters
to balance international
offensive and deep concerns,
consequences largely unchecked;
Whatever decision defend and implement;
Reality complicated when the war began;
Militant kidnapped retaliation
death of majority;
Resolution
strong signal change conduct;
Protect
always use influence;
Pressure
use power
allow resolution to represent
a major warning.
