Longreads

"There are all kinds of impediments put up to the reading of poetry, such that an ordinary reader will feel, you know, it’s not for them. If I have a mission, it’s to try to push against that, because it seems to me that it _is_ possible to be a casual reader of poetry." —A.O. Scott in conversation with Jonathan Farmer for @slate

I'd like to tell you
What I really think
And in my mind
What lives.
Flows the water
Of the river restless
And on the bank
I sit counting the drops
Like tears pouring.
And whisper I
Your name.
Because you are
The inhabitant
Of the land
That I call
My own heart.

Very disappointing is
Of the people the change
In behavior and manners
Just because of
Their envy.
Very disappointing...
Expecially when
You believe
And empathetic and good-hearted
Someone is.
A possible friendship fails
Talking about the void.
Nevertheless,
The Sun will shine
Every day.

Read “return to reality…“ by for-much-deliberation on Medium ~
the dangling dregs of yesterday
making life lapse into a past that
can never return to taint this present
with head angled toward new days
new thoughts and moments moving
to the sounds that herald daytime
that puncture mind
then return to reality...
