Josephine Miles: Belief
Mother said to call her if the H-bomb exploded
And I said I would, and it about did
When Louis my brother robbed a service station
And lay cursing on the oily cement in handcuffs.
When Louis my brother robbed a service station
And lay cursing on the oily cement in handcuffs.
But by that time it was too late to tell Mother,
She was too sick to worry the life out of her
Over why why. Causation is sequence
And everything is one thing after another.
Besides, my other brother, Eddie, had got to be President,
And you can't ask too much of one family.
The chances were as good for a good future
As bad for a bad one.
Therefore it was surprising that, as we kept the newspapers from Mother,
She died feeling responsible for a disaster unverified,
Murmuring, in her sleep as it seemed, the ancient slogan
Noblesse oblige.
Josephine Miles (1911-1985): Belief, 1955, from Collected Poems 1930-1983

Josephine Miles: Family
When you swim in the surf off Seal Rocks, and your family
Sits in the sand
Eating potato salad, and the undertow
Comes which takes you out away down
To loss of breath loss of play and the power of play
Holler, say
Help, help, help. Hello, they will say,
Come back here for some potato salad.
Sits in the sand
Eating potato salad, and the undertow
Comes which takes you out away down
To loss of breath loss of play and the power of play
Holler, say
Help, help, help. Hello, they will say,
Come back here for some potato salad.
It is then that a seventeen-year-old cub
Cruising in a helicopter from Antigua,
A jackstraw expert speaking only Swedish
And remote from this area as a camel, says
Look down there, there is somebody drowning.
And it is you. You say, yes, yes,
And he throws you a line.

as someone said "the sacred geometry of chance"....love those poems...thanks Tom!
ReplyDeleteTom,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful collection of photos. On one hand there is the Yoga day thing, being sold like pack of chewing gum on a cold winter night. And on the other hand we got every inch of land being prepared to bring in the corporates, who bring in their dictatorial labour rules, which in turn brings in discontentment, and dissent which is as unfit to the general structure as the man or woman lending his or her voice behind it. Nice circle we got going there.
So then there are the can't-complain-about distractions like the Euros. And so I've got to ask you Tom, have you been following ? The lesser footballing nations have arrived, it seems. But it may still be a predictable turn of events.
Thank you, Tom. Josephine Miles is very good. I like potato salad in my poems. And I don't really know her work well, so have just ordered her collected poems.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks friends.
ReplyDeleteTo coin a phrase (that is, lift a phrase from dear Sandra), Manik, only the sacred geometry of chance can be responsible for the survival this long of the lessers, the Irelands both, the Wales and Icelands only the one, and the other one, but how long can this be permitted to last. I have failed thus far to be able to intercept a stream without unleashing all the demons of Bovada into my private workings, though I did manage to have the freeze frame, or make that the frame freeze, just as Perisic scored for Croatia. I would expect Spain to prevail.
Terry, totally glad you dig JM. For me you're both among the elite. It's undoubtedly the quality of the potato salad distances her poems and yours from the pack.
