Reflections on the Azores
You’ve really made me want to go!
A poem by Muriel Rukeyser I've always loved.
Islands
[Originally published in The Gates (1976)]
O for God’s sake
they are connected
underneath
They look at each other
across the glittering sea
some keep a low profile
Some are cliffs
The bathers think
islands are separate like them

Oh, this is perfect. Thank you!
