Sunday Best – July 2, 2023
You know that feeling when you speak a fragment of a poem, the same one you’ve mentioned a thousand times before, but this time instead of you being the only one who knows it’s a poem and not a throwaway phrase you are with the friends who know the poem and see why you are referencing it even though it is not the most obvious reason and they can recite the whole thing right there while you are talking which takes the conversation to a whole other place that is simultaneously higher and deeper because they get IT and they get YOU and you are just overwhelmed by how lucky you are to know such people?
May we all keep such fragments.
May we all have such moments.
May we all know such humans.
[i carry your heart with me(i carry it in]
– by e.e. cummings
i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)
