Poetry Month - Keith Waldrop

The Luxury of Hesitation [excerpt from The Proof from Motion]
by Keith Waldrop


things
forgotten
I could


burn in hell forever


set the glass
down, our
emotion's moment


eyes vs sunlight


how removed
here, from
here


towards the unfamiliar and


frankincense forests
against the discerning light


everybody
sudden


frightful indeed, the sound of
traffic and
no appetite


the crowd


I would like to be
beautiful when
written
