To Friendship!

Invitation to Consideration

I would go to you
you too like
U2 light
would go
with me with
songs we'd go
to sleep. r.e.m.
and then
remember them?
We love
us & them.

Verse re: Word.

From our new poet laureate, W. S. Merwin:

TERM

At the last minute a word is waiting
not heard that way before and not to be
repeated or ever be remembered
one that always had been a household word
used in speaking of the ordinary
everyday recurrences of living
not newly chosen or long considered
or a matter for comment afterward
who would ever have thought it was the one
saying itself from the beginning through
all its uses and circumstances to
utter at last that meaning of its own
for which it had long been the only word
though it seems now that any word would do
