Halfway to Silence

A striking collection of short poems from acclaimed writer May Sarton
After decades of writing flowing lyric verse, May Sarton’s style turned to short bursts of poetry. Likening poetry to gardening, she writes, “Muse, pour strength into my pruning wrist / That I may cut the way toward open space.” These condensed poems are rife with exuberant impressions of nature and of love. Included are two of Sarton’s most acclaimed poems, “Old Lovers at the Ballet” and “Of the Muse.”

Citat

  • horizonsofabysshar citerati fjol
    Today, I have learned

    That to become

    A great, cracked,

    Wide-open door

    Into nowhere

    Is wisdom.
  • horizonsofabysshar citerati fjol
    I sit at my desk under attack,

    Trying to survive

    Panic and guilt, the flu…

    Outside

    Even sunlight looks cold

    Glancing off glare ice.

    Inside,

    Narcissus in bloom,

    And a patch of sun on the pile

    Of unanswered letters.

    I lift my eyes

    To the blue

    Open-ended ocean.

    Why worry?

    Some things are always there.

    I am not available

    At the moment

    Except to myself.
