Joseph Ceravolo: Morning Touched

January 22, 1986

This morning Walt Whitman

walked past me

Ed Poe sat next to me with a coffee

Emmy Dickinson watched

TV with me in amazement

                  in detachment

Hart Crane waved to  me

from a boat as I hung over a bridge,

Waldo Emerson sat meditating,

pen in hand.   Bill Williams was

looking out the window

everything dripping wet

                as I passed.

Hank Thoreau rested in

the fog of a huge wetland.

Wally Stevens, notebook under arm

sad eyes, moved under the cloudy brightness.

H.D. and Gertrude walked

toward me from the railing

of the departing ship,

Langston Hughes sang weeping.

This morning Walt Whitman

walked past me.

Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): Morning Touched [January 22, 1986], from Collected Poems, 2012
