QUESTION

Water all around me
the front of sky ahead
sand off to the edges
light dazzle wind

way of where waves of
pleasure it can be here
am I dead or alive
in which is it.

I wonder: is Oppen recalling Charles Olson’s c.1950 poem “These Days”—either consciously or (more likely) not? These Days whatever you have to say, leave the roots on, let them dangle And the dirt just to make clear where they come from

That’s where I am right now. Watched a doe & fawn swim across the bay last night. Thanks for this poem, Billy

I'm thinking I might start sharing favourite poems on here, and I'll start with Psalm, by George Oppen, which opens thus: In the small beauty of the forest The wild deer bedding down— That they are there! Full poem here: www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...

Theatre people, despite my best efforts there still isn't enough theatre stuff in my BlueSky timeline! If you're interested in theatre, esp. if based in the UK, do give this a like as I'd love to find more people on here to follow and build a community of other theatre people ❤️ #Theatre
