The Moment
Oh, the coming-out-of-nowhere moment
when, nothing
happens
no what-have-I-to-do-today-list
maybe half a moment
the rush of traffic stops.
The whir of I should be, I should be, I should be
slows to silence,
the white cotton curtains hanging still.
- Marie Howe
". . . as I have said often enough, I write for myself in multiplicate,
a not unfamiliar phenomenon on the
horizon of shimmering deserts."
- Vladimir Nabokov
