Their long stares mark them apart; eyes gone
to sea-colors: gray, foam-flecked
and black in the undertow, blue
as the blue banners of the mackerel, whipping west.
On land, they are smoke-walkers, where each stone
is a standing stone, every circle a stone circle.
They would be rumor if they could, in this frozen
landscape like a stopped sea, from the great stone keels
of Callanish to the walls of Dunnottar and Drum.
They would be less even than rumor:
to be ocean-stealers, to never throw a shadow —
to dream the blank horizon and dread the sight of land.
The drink storms through these men, uncompasses
them, till they’re all at sea again.
Their houses, heeled over in the sand:
each ruin now a cairn for kites.
And down by the quay
past empty pots, unmended nets, and boats:
this tiny bar, where men sleep upright
in their own element, as seals.
-- Robin Robertson

Question: Who is your audience? What are you here for?
Answer: Tribal Alliances, Heart-felt Convictions, Passionate Reason, Random Abandon, Sustainable Civility and a kiss; to comfort the sad and the mad Ones; the Ones roaming the International section of the American Supermarket at night; or roaming the neglected streets looking for an angry malaprop to sink their teeth into; the Ones who seek without seeking and learn as much as they teach; the Ones who embrace and kiss and embrace again; the Ones who sing the song of the city and the ballads of the forest; the Ones who chant the rhythm of the sea and hum the melody of the desert; the Ones who sing the prayer of Her name and Her name is the World. Yes, those are the Ones. -- JP

(Can you help folks in need heat their homes and cook their food on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations. Navajo has an important diary posted with all the particulars. Even a small amount can work towards building the minimum.
Could you please help?)

I took another small sip of water as the next questioner rose, this time by the stacks of French novels. She was cute; red hair, tall, maybe 5'9" or 5'10", well proportioned. Had to be another doctoral student in Comparative Literature at Cal; so even at 24 or 25, was too young for my wandering eye.
"You stated," she stated determinedly, "and I quote; 'Comedy, Poetry and Fiction are only effective and only become Art if there is a Truth behind the humor, the verse and the lie.'"
"Yes," I uttered to fill the small silence.
"In your writing; in your humor, verse and lies, are you telling a Truth about yourself?" she asked, "or are you telling a Truth about the Culture and Society as a whole?"
"Yes," I answered.
