Endurance

Back to the grindstone
            the honing
                        the shaping
A dull edge into a finally laid plane
The chipping away
            the imperfectness
                        the rough
A finish always present
not always seen
Virginia Wolfe           
            ended it all     
                        demons overwhelmed
Stressing the journey is what matters
It’s going to be a bright
            a bright
                        shiney day

To write like Snyder or Walt
Even Holm or Lawrence
To see as they saw
                        feeling things in a deep sense
Touching the deep seedy sinew
Emotions dormant
Ready to blossom
                        as the earliest Spring blossoms
Jack wrote some poems
Ginsberg was in a certain state of mind
Voices touching generations
                        past, present, and beyond
