Oliver’s Birthday

Oliver is nine on Feb 9, 2020

 

He gets nine dollars twice: $18.

Not enough for his new bike pedals,

but enough for multiplication and addition practice

learning to budget time and dollars

learning to budget patience too

daily at the mill of generosity

in the village where children thrive!

Candle

It’s Birthday month: I’m 74!
The short wicked candle burns.

Between Nor’ Easters,wind and snow
My family comes, adjourns.

The elders bring their rattled bones
And ticklish touching smiles

They know a moment’s all we’ve got
Embrace and touch awhile.

AGE

AGE
gives me an ace a day.

At night,
the curtain closes.

At day…opens:
drama unfolds.

Wisdom
is born.

Humility
bites me.

Simplicity
is my costume.

Color
my set.

Bravo!
to the AGE display!

Always,
uncut……never late.

painting greens

bites the palette;

rustles leaves

reflects in water;

clings to flesh

enhances red;

a royal complement!

Botticelli’s Venus

The Venus of Botticelli


by Wendell Berry

 

I knew her when I saw her


in the vision of Botticelli, riding


shoreward out of the waves,


and afterward she was in my mind

as she had been before, but changed,


so that if I saw her here, near


nightfall, striding off the gleam


of the Kentucky River as it darkened

behind her, the willows touching


her with little touches laid


on breast and arm and thigh, I

would rise as after a thousand


years, as out of the dark grave,


alight, shaken, to remember her.
