this is just to say

nothing. this is to say, i saw the moon at five, a bright star in the east that i don't have a name for, felt the dew on my skin and watched the sky change. this is just to say that though my mother may have said i wish you would write happy poems, and at the time it was inconceivable that i could, it is possible that the world may have realigned while i was looking.

  1. I love the gleefully apologetic tone of the Williams poem, and the feeling evoked by your poem is kin (if not akin) to that...
