As the story broke about the nightclub massacre in Orlando . . .  

“Have compassion for everyone you meet
Even if they don’t want it . . .
Always a sign of things no ears have heard
Always a sign of things no eyes have seen
You don’t know what wars are going on
Down there, where the spirit meets the bone
Down there, where the spirit meets the bone”
                -from Lucinda Williams’ song “Compassion”
                (adapted from her father Miller Williams’
                Poem by the same name)

“When young I thought I’d die in my thirties like so many of my favorite poets.  At seventy-five I see this hasn’t happened.  Still, I am faithful to my poems and birds.  Birds are poems I haven’t caught yet.”

            -from the poem “Tiny Bird” by Jim Harrison
