"The nature of a free society is that it will always be the locus of a struggle between higher and lower forms of freedom. Neither side can abolish the other, but the line can be moved, never definitively but at least for some people for some time, one way or another." - Charles Taylor, 1991
Sun in melancholy morning
makes everything beautiful even
my cold hands as they clean
last night’s smudgy literary
coffee pot
swirling the grains with hose water
and splashing them
across the earth
where they desperately cling
to grass petals
but by afternoon are
gone.
