One Response to “August 6th, Screening in San Leandro”

My friend Robin sent this poem to me after the screening:

Evening Sun

Why does this light force me back
to my childhood? I wore a yellow
summer dress, and the skirt
made a perfect circle.

Turning and turning
until it flared to the limit
was irresistible….The grass and trees,
my outstretched arms, and the skirt
whirled in the ochre light
of an early June evening.

And I knew then
that I would have to live, and go on
living: what a sorrow it was; and still
what sorrow burns
but does not destroy my heart.

Jane Kenyon, from The Boat of Quiet Hours (1986) and Otherwise (1996)
