    Tony Hoagland
    “Outside the youth center, between the liquor store
    and the police station,
    a little dogwood tree is losing its mind;

    overflowing with blossomfoam,
    like a sudsy mug of beer;
    like a bride ripping off her clothes,

    dropping snow white petals to the ground in clouds,

    so Nature’s wastefulness seems quietly obscene.
    It’s been doing that all week:
    making beauty,
    and throwing it away,
    and making more.”
    Tony Hoagland, What Narcissism Means to Me

    Wilson Rawls
    “After the last shovel of dirt was patted in place, I sat down and let my mind drift back through the years. I thought of the old K. C. Baking Powder can, and the first time I saw my pups in the box at the depot. I thought of the fifty dollars, the nickels and dimes, and the fishermen and blackberry patches.

    I looked at his grave and, with tears in my eyes, I voiced these words: "You were worth it, old friend, and a thousand times over.”
    Wilson Rawls, Where the Red Fern Grows

    “I am carrying the whimper
    you can hear when the mouth is collapsed, the wisdom
    of monkeys. Ask a glass of water why it pities
    the rain. Ask the lunatic yard dog why it tolerates the leash.
    Brothers and sisters, when you spend your nights
    out on a limb, there’s a chance you’ll fall in your sleep.”
    Terrance Hayes, Lighthead

    John Milton
    “Into this wild Abyss/ The womb of Nature, and perhaps her grave--/ Of neither sea, nor shore, nor air, nor fire,/ But all these in their pregnant causes mixed/ Confusedly, and which thus must ever fight,/ Unless the Almighty Maker them ordain/ His dark materials to create more worlds,--/ Into this wild Abyss the wary Fiend/ Stood on the brink of Hell and looked a while,/ Pondering his voyage; for no narrow frith/ He had to cross. ”
    John Milton, Paradise Lost
