Tuesday poetry


We make ourselves a place apart
Behind light words that tease and flout
But oh, the agitated heart
Till someone find us really out.

'Tis pity if the case require
(Or so they say) that in the end
We speak the literal to inspire
The understanding of a friend.

But so with all, from babes that play
At hide-and-seek to God afar,
So all who hide too well away
Must speak and tell us where they are.

--"Revelation", by Robert Frost

I'm back in Morocco, after a whirlwind trip through Spain, Denmark, and Sweden.
