Reel
by Barbara Crooker 

Maybe night is about to come
calling, but right now
the sun is still high in the sky.
It’s half-past October, the woods
are on fire, blue skies stretch
all the way to heaven. Of course,
we know winter is coming, its thin
winding sheets and its hard narrow bed.
But right now, the season’s fermented
to fullness, so slip into something
light, like your skeleton; while these old
bones are still working, my darling,
let’s dance.

All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.

--Molière

Volatilidade do tempo na Inglaterra.

Todo o dia choveu e fez vento, mas às 4.15pm parecia que o sol se mostraria sem vergonhas. Às 4.22pm o vento fincou pé de presença e às 5.38pm caiu uma carga de água que encharcaria mesmo quem tivesse guarda-chuva. Bom tempo para estar em casa!

To Pain
by Dan Gerber

You begin the moment I wake up,
and even the moment before,
abiding companion, herald of my life,
though a little too strident at times.

I have little white pills to calm,
and even still, you. Sometimes
I think you've finally walked out,
but a little neglect is all it takes to win you back.

When you've stayed too long, I might
demand to know why you've chosen me.
What I may have done to summon you.
What retribution you represent.

But you tell me nothing more,
only that you are part of what a body feels,
only that you're part of what a heart endures
and what a mind transforms.

You are, after all,
like the fog this morning,
obscuring almost everything, 

till a tree emerges just beyond our yard,
and then, again, a fence corner
coming almost imperceptibly
back into view,
halfway up the next hill.

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.
