Two Poems by Robert Bly

Things to Think

Think in ways you've never thought before.
If the phone rings, think of it as carrying a message
Larger than anything you've ever heard,
Vaster than a hundred lines of Yeats.

Think that someone may bring a bear to your door,
Maybe wounded and deranged; or think that a moose
Has risen out of the lake, and he's carrying on his antlers
A child of your own whom you've never seen.

When someone knocks on the door, think that he's about
To give you something large: tell you you're forgiven,
Or that it's not necessary to work all the time, or that it's
Been decided that if you lie down no one will die. 

One Source of Bad Information

There's a boy in you about three
years old who hasn't learned a thing for thirty
Thousand years. Sometime it's a girl.

This child had to make up its mind
How to save you from death. He said things like:
``Stay home. Avoid elevators. Eat only elk.''

You live with this child, but you don't know it.
You're in the office, yes, but live with this boy
At night. He's uninformed, but he does want

To save your life. And he has. Because of this boy
You survived a lot. He's got six big ideas.
Five don't work. Right now he's repeating them to you.

Revised Poem - Today's Weather

Today's Weather

by Marlene G. McNew

Oh for the clarity of temperate skies,

softly focused light

illuminating stable horizons.

Periwinkle is away today.

A high contrast storm rages

between black and white

pockets of high pressure air.

Frenzied wind whips in circles.

Absent the balance of in between hues,

a blizzard blocks daylight,

as if magenta had never existed

and the subtlety of Reseda gray green

had been imagined.

Where is neutral gray?

Shouldn’t it permeate the air?

Cool and warm values vie for dominance

without its unifying force.

Brown sky envelops breath, like mud

taking over a puddle.

Clouds promise thunder,

rain, rain and more rain.

The cooling ease of snow,

lilac and pale pink,

is nowhere to be found

except in the sunlit skies

that hide beneath eyelids.
