Although the wind
blows terribly here,
the moonlight also leaks
between the roofplanks
of this ruined house.

I need to read.
It’s a little like breathing
or eating
or drinking
my life’s link to thinking.
Without it I am
much less than I am,
less of a person
and more of a yam.
Karla Kuskin in Moon, Have You Met My Mother?

Jars of springwater are not enough
anymore. Take us down to the river!
