Defenceless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.
-W. H. Auden

Yet Februarye made me to shiver
Wyth everich pamphlet Ich deliverid
Bad newes on the doore step
Ich koude not take oon more step
And Ich kan not recalle if Ich did crye
When Ich reade about hys widowed bryde
But the mad sad worlde broke me ynside
The daye the musique died
Wyth everich pamphlet Ich deliverid
Bad newes on the doore step
Ich koude not take oon more step
And Ich kan not recalle if Ich did crye
When Ich reade about hys widowed bryde
But the mad sad worlde broke me ynside
The daye the musique died

These poor mussels lost their rock and washed up on this Mendocino County beach. I’m a bit unmoored myself, these days.
