The buds are starting to show. I love springtime! Viva sweet love!
e.e. cummings
dive for dreams
or a slogan may topple you
(trees are their roots
and wind is wind)
trust your heart
if the seas catch fire
(and live by love
though the stars walk backward)
honour the past
but welcome the future
(and dance your death
away at this wedding)
never mind a world
with its villains or heroes
(for god likes girls
and tomorrow and the earth)

e e cummings letterpress poem
I recently letterpress printed this poem by the timeless ee cummings. It was for my dear friend Shirley's ex-husband's memorial. He died suddenly last month in a sort of freak accident. Life is short.
