Poem of the Day
Yellow Striped Pajamas
By Shamsher Bahadur Singh
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
walking silently on his paws, he emerges from the semidarkness and disappears into it.
What about one of Michelangelo’s last Pietas
in the maze of outbuildings at Sforza Castle, the dead Christ

the way braille comes up with the fingertips,
I keep returning to that window
in the mountains of southern Bavaria.
