“At this hour even the highway is silent, the one noise being a neighbor trying to start his car, the grinding and grinding of the motor. This is when his life feels most fragile, when each part of the world he believed important trembles like a shadow puppet on a wall - a bird or dog to coax a child to sleep.” ~From the poem Ebb Tide by Stephen Dobyns
We must get to the bottom of these mysteries, discover
what people require to be happy. Otherwise
we proceed in chaos and confusion, like someone
throwing a bunch of confetti into the air: some
blows north, some south, and some we never know.
~from the poem My Town by Stephen Dobyns
I do not own this book but I desperate want it. It‘s out of print so the price is high! I love the poetry of Stephen Dobyns!
