Daily Quote

 

Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books,

But love from love, toward school with heavy looks. (William Shakespeare)

 

恋爱的人去赴他情人的约会,像一个放学归来的儿童;可是当他和情人分别的时候,却像上学去一般满脸懊丧。(威廉·莎士比亚)

 

Poem of the Day

 

Poetry for Beginners

Gabeba Baderoon

 

In the evening poetry class for beginners

in the community hall during the introductions

 

a girl looking down behind her hair

and a thick brown coat she doesn’t take off

 

breathes in deep and risking

something says fast

 

my boyfriend’s in prison and I’m here

 

to find out how to write to him

through the bars

 

and someone laughs

 

and she pulls herself back into her coat

and from inside looks past us

 

and the next week doesn’t

come back

 

and I think of her for years

and what poetry is

 

I think of her long pause

at the beginning

 

her silence before

and her silence after

 

and this is my origin

where poetry is risk, is betrayal

 

and the memory of the first question

how not to be alone

 

Beauty of Words
