We Are

like a school of sunflowers facing
our sun-god in a spring forever in bloom;
never look away my brother

because life will be a song again
on the lips of death
and the lyric will be a remembered one

I've been in a Harry Crosby mood lately and reading his inferences toward the "sun" your poem reminded me of that and is stunning.

If America has poets like Crossby right down to Robert Hass why do they need the bombs, I wonder.
Thanks for reading!

Being on the earth this time around, there are things I would rather not ponder upon freely : politics & warring -Poetry equals love to me and that's my directive and due course.
