A Thought for Today
There is no strength without solidarity.
FROM the¨BOOKS
ROME ITSELF
I carry down between my legs
Rome itself, for you love Rome
and I would drive Rome into you
or drive you into Rome.
This room your coliseum till you board
your plane. These arms your forum
cats included.
Self-propelled am I between
the morning and the midnight
I glide along your groin and earn my wings
by testing out your thighs
like some new willful Wiley Post.
My flight is not away, not to or from.
Above you, below you - I soar
and perch upon your second pillow.
I have no need for such mechanical devices
as winged shoes or wings. I am made uncommon
by the need to know you and thereby
come to know myself.
Rome, though in the distance, is no farther
than the dresser and not so far away
that I can't take you there.
For me the Spanish Steps
are centered on your tongue
and Caesar could content himself with
California wine had he your eyes to follow
and your breath to capture with his own breath.
We'll go to Rome
as slowly as you like
and be there by tonight.
- from "Fields of Wonder", 1971
