I think one of poetry’s functions is not to give us what we want... The poet isn’t always of use to the tribe. The tribe thrives on the consensual.

The stars begin to fade like guttering candles and are snuffed out one by one.

In our memories, there is a graveyard where we bury our dead. They all lie there together, the loved ones and the ones we hated, friends and foes and kin, with no distinction among them.

Soon or late, every dog’s master’s memory becomes a graveyard; peopled by wistful little furry ghosts that creep back unbidden, at times, to a semblance of their olden lives Picture Quote #1

Uneasily the leaves fall at this season, forgetting what to do or where to go; the red amnesiacs of autumn drifting thru the graveyard forest.

Look at any city through the right memories and it could become a graveyard as haunted as a former battlefield Picture Quote #1
