Two bits of bright sunshine on an otherwise cloudy and stormy day: thanks to Sandra Simonds for the Rilke poem and thanks to Cori Copp for the link.

Tonight is the first night since I started this blog that I feel completely mute. "The flesh is tired, and I've read all the blogs" (paraphrase of Mallarme). By the way, check out Joseph Duemer's blog when you get a chance. Some words of wisdom there.

Maybe I'll go and read some of those new poetry books I just received. Maybe even write a poem or two, you never know. Catch you later.
