Eavan Boland - Mar 22, Iyengar Level II & I

For a Saint Patrick’s Day. I forgot to wear green but remembered an Irish poet…

BE

If l think of it

what I see are hills—

kinetic, never still

shadows building

necessary blues

to make dusk.

…

If l think of it

what I see are

the first days of spring,

snowdrops just barely

visible, but how

they came to be there

I will never know.

…

All I know is

some days

should simply be.

Not be remembered.
