wordsworthy

Moving away from all these reasons to be angry, Elizabeth Bishop wrote a wonderful, beautiful, exciting poem, recently sent to me by a wonderful, beautiful, exciting friend of mine:
"Come with the pointed toe of each black shoe
trailing a sapphire highlight,
with a black capeful of butterfly wings and bon-mots,
with heaven knows how many angels all riding
on the broad black brim of your hat,
please come flying."
