Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Storm

People of Chilmark, Thomas Hart Benton, 1920
Quickly carry the boat back to shore
Black is the sky, the waves are high
The Hyades cry in grief
The Pleiades are dark
We plead with the gods
Heavens rain down
Atlas weak
Save our 
Souls
