Travelogue for Exiles, Karl Shapiro

Look and remember. Look upon this sky;
Look deep and deep into the sea-clean air,
The unconfined, the terminus of prayer.
Speak now and speak into the hallowed dome.
What do you hear? What does the sky reply?
The heavens are taken: this is not your home.

Look and remember. Look upon this sea;
Look down and down into the tireless tide.
What of a life below, a life inside,
A tomb, a cradle in the curly foam?
The waves arise; sea-wind and sea agree
The waters are taken: this is not your home.

Look and remember. Look upon this land,
Far, far across the factories and the grass.
Surely, there, surely they will let you pass.
Speak then and ask the forest and the loam.
What do you hear? What does the land command?
The earth is taken: this is not your home.

Of course you do. They haunted your nightmares.

Did you know that there’s a bird that looks a lot like them?

Sweet dreams.

It is my avatar.

I NEED TO HUG THIS CAT

I am quite unnerved by this cat. Its facial expressions are a little too human-looking. I DUB THEE FELINE BROWN JENKIN.
