The Blind


Someday, when the wake of flight
is visible to the human eye,
consider this note from an earlier time
by one who imagined what others denied.

From Songs and Letters, originally published April 17, 2008.


Update:
As the Conversation continues, we hear from Mr. Gutman and the eminent, but dead, T.S. Baynes.

That curls my mind up to a circle!

Thanks, Ken. Your comment has the same effect on me as the poem does on Rudhi.

Led me through (wanting more) to your Songs and Letters. Thanks again for making so much excellent work available out here - it's appreciated.

You’re very welcome. Delighted you feel that way. If you get bogged down, send up a flare, and we’ll send help in after you.

"by one who imagined what others denied." Delicious! I deny so much, wall it off. But then I suppose there are things I breathe fully that others bury. And that is why I write, and that is why I read. Food.

Absolutely. And that is why I love our exchange. Thanks, Annie.
