In Search of a May Pole–Purple Profundity: Poetry by Elisabeth Connelley

November 4, 2010 / Elisa / Leave a comment

one hand
tulips
belly in the grass
listening
for May
across stone walls
boots
trod upon
musky
newly turned earth
well worn hands
search and grasp
the wood
with heft enough
to stand
in the center
unified to raise
the May Pole

“At such moments, courage is necessary,” Mr. Obama said. “We need courage to stand up to hate, not just in others, but in ourselves. At such moments, we need the courage to stand up to dogma, not just in others, but in ourselves.”
–Barack Obama

“Stop abortion at the source. Vasectomies are reversible. Make every young man have one. When he’s deemed financially and emotionally fit to be a father it will be reversed. What’s that? Did the idea of regulating a man’s body make you uncomfortable? Then mind your f**king business.”

Refresh yourself, sister
With the water from the copper bowl with bits of ice in it –
Open your eyes under water, wash them –
Dry yourself with a rough towel and cast
A glance at a book you love.
In this way begin
A lovely and useful day.
–Bertolt Brecht

“A poem, a sentence causes us to see ourselves.”
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

“Magic is the use of spiritual skills to achieve specific goals, according to individual will.”
