…”We move this way to keep from going blind” — Weldon Kees
No need to scorn us, friend,
you proud.
We move this way to keep from going blind.
All that we know of mind:
a cloud.
We move this way to keep from going blind.
It ends as all things for us end:
with tears.
No need to scorn us, friend.
You proud,
a cloud with tears.
No need to scorn us, friend.
We move this way to keep from going blind.
