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.
