Poetry


from Kosti's Ramón I/V
Richard Kostelanetz

 

Water is so clear only because it has no memory.

When the train leaves the station, look out the window to steal good-byes not meant for you.

Hens tire of reporting to the police the latest egg thieves.

A scared woman coldly watches.

The other side of the river will always be dissatisfied because it is not this side.

No literary cabal is serious until it appoints a treasurer.

It is a petty conception of silence to think that because it can wrap us round it belongs to us.

Only some would want their eyeglasses to be mirrors.
