".... We lie on the earth;
to keep from falling into the stars we reach
as wide as we can and hold onto the grass."
-from "East of Broken Tip"

Lines like these make me ache.

Even in quiet places: poems | William Stafford

"Its door opens near. It's a shrine / by the road, it's a flower in the parking lot / of the Pentagon, it says, 'Look around, / listen. Feel the air.'" -from "Poetry" by William Stafford, my Kansas boy. Apropos for the first day of this new year. Thanks for the invitation to #LitsyPoetry365 @SharonGoforth

SharonGoforth @clbeyer You're very welcome 😊 Thank you for sharing this. 7y
