I am not done PROCESSING but my indomitable spirit kicks against the pricks of painful memory so I make new laughing living loving ones.
The next poem is after John Masefield’s wonderful poem “I must go down to the sea again.” It was triggered by the new film release Star Trek, which I THOUGHT WAS WONDERFUL. But long ago in a galaxy far, far away, Captain Kirk recited a portion of the poem and I had memorized it in, oh, fifth grade, when I was just getting the hang of reading. I wish more time was spent on poetry in elementary school. It’s natural rhythms resonate with the natural rhythms of childhood.
