I needed my mistakes
in their own order
to get me here.

“Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.”

#WSMerwin was a September Child, maybe that’s why he was in love with the departure of summer?

lord because this one is growing faint
I do not think it goes all the way."

We had a chance to visit the Merwin Conservancy in Haiku Maui today. Beyond his prolific writings, Merwin left an inspiring legacy of restoration and healing of ravaged lands. #WSMerwin #poetry #maui

Once once and once
In the same city I was born
Asking what shall I say

He will have fallen into his mouth
Men think they are better than grass

I return to his voice rising like a forkful of hay

ANOTHER YEAR COME
By #WSMerwin

I have nothing new to ask of you,
Future, heaven of the poor.

I am still wearing the same things.
I am still begging the same question
By the same light,
Eating the same stone,

And the hands of the clock still knock without entering.

He was old he is not real nothing is real
Nor the noise of death drawing water

We are the echo of the future

On the door it says what to do to survive
But we were not born to survive
Only to live

4/4 #LyrikSamstag #WSMerwin
