”Yet the books will be there on the shelves, well born” — Milosz, “And yet the books”
I mosey past the
cove under towering clouds.
Not that long ago
in New York, I’m the
duck in the shining pond. Each
hour a dollar made
or lost. Sunset falls
and the streets light up. Tonight
I’ll be with good books.
