THE END OF APRIL

New green strewn
with severed white
tongues of magnolia,
relentless advance
of the spring not taking
no for an answer.

Temporary guest, always
so reassuring & sinister,
just a drip in geologic time—
less than nothing.
Your deep thoughts
will not be dug up
with your bones, say nothing
of paper & soft tissue.

We spend half our lives
decaying, thanks
to the criminal sun.

Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).

I’m touched by your comment about “Arc of the Dream,” Mark – and impressed by your perseverance in finding that title with so few mnemonic clues. Blood seems to be a motif in my fiction: “The Blood’s Horizon” came to mind from "Radix" before I remembered “Mirror in the Blood.” I certainly feel connected with the human community and liberated from a writer’s isolation by your friendly anecdote. And how uplifting for me to know my story inspired your poem. I’m glad the creative fire has passed between us!
