for about a year i had back to back band classes starting at 7am so while everyone started warming up for the second one i would enjoy what i called « sit in the bass room in the dark time » where i would do just that & drink my coffee & go through my inbox reading all the poems… just got a guy who i wrote a poem about in my inbox & that poem that mentions him got published by the same people so soon i will be in his as well…

I always forget I signed up for the Knopf Poem-a-Day emails until April 1st roles around and I start to receive poems in my inbox.
Yesterday’s poem was “To Drink” by Jane Hirshfield:
I want to gather your darkness in my hands, to cup it like water and drink. I want this in the same way as I want to touch your cheek— it is the same— the way a moth will come to the bedroom window in late September, beating and beating its wings against cold glass; the way a horse will lower its long head to water, and drink, and pause to lift its head and look, and drink again, taking everything in with the water, everything.
