Moment
Some short quotes:
“Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final”
R.M. Rilke
"launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment."
Henry Thoreau
Carpe Diem
Margaret Atwood reads her poem 'The Moment'
http://www.poetryarchive.org/poetryarchive/singlePoem.do?poemId=100
The moment when...
The moment when
everything becomes
more really false than it is.
Your eyes, pools in the distance
across the table from me, looking
at me, looking -
I look
at you. Reclining in your chair you smirk,
laugh, frown. Silly stories
of cars crashing into pits in the ground, filling up
with shit, times when you ate a spider, threw up
in the taxi home, the candle burns low.
It's warm, in this scene. And the sky is dark outside.
We are here, somewhere
the clock counts down
the minutes
we fall off
piece by piece
we leave - until
empty only the
candle embers
empty cans.
