I loved your poem the fist time I read it, Lorna -- and I continue to return to it, rereading it to see better this place you know so well. We really do have to find the spark of hope and life we're given in our personal experience of the world. You show it so well, there is such vibrant energy in every stanza. If we can't trust our own lives, then we can't trust anything. The "is" so far outreaches good or bad, past or future. And that little glowing ember of light we protect and carry on with…
I loved your poem the fist time I read it, Lorna -- and I continue to return to it, rereading it to see better this place you know so well. We really do have to find the spark of hope and life we're given in our personal experience of the world. You show it so well, there is such vibrant energy in every stanza. If we can't trust our own lives, then we can't trust anything. The "is" so far outreaches good or bad, past or future. And that little glowing ember of light we protect and carry on with us may be our only mission -- like the father in Cormac McCarthy's The Road, who brings his son to the only remaining possibility of love left to human society. I like the struggle of it all, and I felt that in your poem. I could feel the asphalt, hear the voices, taste you mother's food. And I could sense myself walking with you. That was nice!<br />
