Painting by Roberta S. Rosenthal
To Begin
To begin ...
As the twentieth century fades out
the nineteenth begins
again
it is as if nothing happened
though those who lived it thought
that everything was happening
enough to name a world for & a time
to hold it in your hand
unlimited the last delusion
like the perfect mask of death
Jerome Rothenberg
