Tomorrow


Happy New Year! And thank you all dear readers for your constant readership, comments and appreciation throughout the year. Here's to a lot more of 'metaphysics of the quotidian' in the coming year,  the real kind of magic, a lot of it translated of course through poetry. 




Tomorrow - Charles Wright

The metaphysics of the quotidian was what he was after:
A little dew on the sunrise grass,
A drop of blood in the evening trees,
                                                         a drop of fire.

If you don't shine you are darkness.
The future is merciless,
                                      everyone's name inscribed
On the flyleaf of the Book of Snow.
