New American Poet Laureate: Juan Felipe Herrera, "Five Directions to My House"
1 Go back to the grain yellow hills where the broken speak of elegance
2 Walk up to the canvas door, the short bed stretched against the clouds
3 Beneath the earth, an ant with the grace of a governor
4 Blow, blow Red Tail Hawk, your hidden sleeve - your desert secrets
5 You're there, almost, without a name, without a body, go now
6 I said five, said five like a guitar says six
I want to write of love in the face of disaster - Juan Felipe Herrera

ReplyDeleteThanks jowdjbrown for the two replies. About the other one, the Greece thing - the key words, according to my EU free publicity mousepad, are supposed to be Dignity, Freedom; Equality, Solidarity, Citizens' Rights and Justice. Haven't seen any of those ideals in evidence during the whole process so far.
DeleteAh, you said Geeks. :) as opposed to Greeks. I must get some new specs.
DeleteI think that maybe one has to be Greek to really understand this although it has a certain peace to it, which I like.
ReplyDeleteThe Greek reference was referring to an earlier post, but I take your point about the sense of "a certain peace" which is a quality I like about it.
