america hurts

Posted on 25/11/2022 by Nightpoet

“As I say, it is perhaps easier to love America passionately,

when you look at it through the wrong end of a

telescope than when you are right there.

When you are actually in America, America hurts.”

~ D.H. Lawrence ~

CATMADNESS

Posted on 05/02/2021 by Nightpoet

Back in the 1970’s, when I was living and working in Virginia,

a friend came to work one morning and told me a story

about his cat, his girlfriend and a squeaky brass bed.

The cat kept thinking that he was hearing a mouse

and would come into the bedroom to investigate.

His story inspired this poem.
