Yeah I know that every time I'm busy I give a poem. So sue me

Can't talk. Too busy. Sorry for short posts. Will stop with telegraph writing soon. Must eat- haven't all day. Have poem. Not mine: one of my professor's:

Metaphysic, with Bird

A window allows
that stories
seldom
translate, that the verb falters.

O that it falters. And rises
From mud again.
That this window
allows a cardinal in the yard

to flash across a stretch of glass
and vanish
into eye and ear and heart
that follow feathers and light

to dreams of perfect bird,
perfect cardinal
in the yard
with mud and a verb-

to flash to fly to be
to God. Verb falters
when the window allows.
And rises.

Cheers, Dr. Marshall

I will not agree to do a poetry explication on this (Black Rook *shudders*), but I will say that it's very beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

I think I actually get what it's talking about, too.
