3. THERE’S A STRANGE FRENZY
IN MY HEAD
There’s a strange frenzy in my head,
of birds flying,
each particle circulating on its own.
Is the one I love everywhere?
~Rumi

4. YOU MAY FORGET BUT
Let me tell you
this: someone in
some future time
will think of us
~Sappho

5. EVERY WORD IS A DOUBT
Every word is a doubt,
every silence another doubt.
However,
the intertwining of both
lets us breathe.
All sleeping is a sinking down,
all waking another sinking.
However,
the intertwining of both
lets us rise up again.
All life is a form of vanishing,
all death another form.
However,
the intertwining of both
lets us be a sign in the void.
~Roberto Juarroz

6. THOUSANDS
Out of the thousands
who are known,
or who want to be known
as poets,
maybe one or two
are genuine
and the rest are fakes,
hanging around the sacred precincts
trying to look like the real thing.
Needless to say
I am one of the fakes,
and this is my story.
~Leonard Cohen

7. THE HIGHER REACHES
A man had less and less to say
and said it better and better.
“Soon,” he gloated, “I’ll have
nothing to say, and I’ll say it
perfectly.”
~Bruce Bennett
