Enlighten Radio Presents 

Poems of Kindness & Happiness

Broadcast LIVE Wednesday, May 17, 2023, 7 AM

Hosts: John Case and Janet Harrison



 

Happiness

Jane Kenyon

There’s just no accounting for happiness,
or the way it turns up like a prodigal
who comes back to the dust at your feet
having squandered a fortune far away.
 
And how can you not forgive?
You make a feast in honor of what
was lost, and take from its place the finest
garment, which you saved for an occasion
you could not imagine, and you weep night and day
to know that you were not abandoned,
that happiness saved its most extreme form
for you alone.
 
No, happiness is the uncle you never
knew about, who flies a single-engine plane
onto the grassy landing strip, hitchhikes
into town, and inquires at every door
until he finds you asleep midafternoon
as you so often are during the unmerciful
hours of your despair.
 
It comes to the monk in his cell.
It comes to the woman sweeping the street
with a birch broom, to the child
whose mother has passed out from drink.
It comes to the lover, to the dog chewing
a sock, to the pusher, to the basketmaker,
and to the clerk stacking cans of carrots
in the night.
                     It even comes to the boulder
in the perpetual shade of pine barrens,
to rain falling on the open sea,
to the wineglass, weary of holding wine.
 
Jane Kenyon, “Happiness” from Otherwise: New and Selected Poems. 
 
Kindness
 
Naomi Shihab Nye
 

Before you know what kindness really is
you must lose things,
feel the future dissolve in a moment
like salt in a weakened broth.
What you held in your hand,
what you counted and carefully saved,
all this must go so you know
how desolate the landscape can be
between the regions of kindness.
How you ride and ride
thinking the bus will never stop,
the passengers eating maize and chicken
will stare out the window forever.

Before you learn the tender gravity of kindness
you must travel where the Indian in a white poncho
lies dead by the side of the road.
You must see how this could be you,
how he too was someone
who journeyed through the night with plans
and the simple breath that kept him alive.

Before you know kindness as the deepest thing inside,
you must know sorrow as the other deepest thing.
You must wake up with sorrow.
You must speak to it till your voice
catches the thread of all sorrows
and you see the size of the cloth.
Then it is only kindness that makes sense anymore,
only kindness that ties your shoes
and sends you out into the day to gaze at bread,
only kindness that raises its head
from the crowd of the world to say
It is I you have been looking for,
and then goes with you everywhere
like a shadow or a friend.

2 Poems 

Bertolt Brecht:

The Rugweavers of Kujan-Bulak Honor Comrade Lenin

 

often and copiously honor has been done
to comrade Lenin. there are busts and statues.
cities are called after him, and children.
speeches are made in many languages
there are meetings and demonstrations

from shanghai to Chicago in Lenin's honor.
but this is how he was honored by
the carpet weavers of kuyan-bulak
a little township in southern Turkestan.

every evening there twenty carpet weavers
shaking with fever rise from their primitive looms
fever is rife: the railway station
is full of the hum of mosquitoes, a thick cloud
that rises from the swamp behind the old camels' graveyard.
but the railway train which
every two weeks brings water and smoke, brings
the news also one day
that the day approaches honoring comrade lining.
and the people of kuyan-bulak
carpet weavers, poor people
decide that in their township too comrade Lenin's
plaster bust shall be put up.

then, as the collection is made for the bust
they all stand
shaking with fever and offer
their hard-earned kopeks with trembling hands.
and the red army man Stepa Gamalev, who
carefully counts and nimutely watches
sees how ready they are to honor Lenin, and he is glad
but he also sees their unsteady hands
and he suddenly proposes
that the money for the bust be used to buy petroleum
to be poured on the swamp behind the camels' graveyard
where the mosquitoes breed that carry
the fever germ.
and so to fight the fever at kuyan-bulak, thus
honoring the dead but
never to be forgotten
comrade Lenin.

they resolved to do this. on the day of the ceremony thy carried
their dented buckets filled with black petroleum
one after the other
and poured it over the swamp

so they helped themselves by honoring Lenin, and
had understood him better.

2

we have heard how the people of kuyan-bulak
honored lenin. when in the evening
the petroleum had been bought and poured on the swamp
a man rose at that meeting, demanding
that a plaque be affixed on the railway station
recording these events and containing
precise details too of their altered plan, the exchange of
the bust for lenin for a barrel of fever-destroying oil.
and all this in honor of Lenin.
and they did this as well
and put up the plaque.

All of Us or None

 

Slave, who is it that shall free you?
Those in deepest darkness lying.
Comrade, only these can see you
Only they can hear you crying.
Comrade, only slaves can free you.
Everything or nothing. All of us or none.
One alone his lot can’t better.
Either gun or fetter.
Everything or nothing. All of us or none.

You who hunger, who shall feed you?
If it’s bread you would be carving,
Come to us, we too are starving.
Come to us and let us lead you.
Only hungry men can feed you.
Everything or nothing. All of us or none.
One alone his lot can’t better.
Either gun or fetter.
Everything or nothing. All of us or none.

Beaten man, who shall avenge you?
You, on whom the blows are falling,
Hear your wounded brothers calling.
Weakness gives us strength to lend you.
Come to us, we shall avenge you.
Everything or nothing. All of us or none.
One alone his lot can’t better.
Either gun or fetter.
Everything or nothing. All of us or none.

Who, oh wretched one, shall dare it?
He who can no longer bear it.
Counts the blows that arm his spirit.
Taught the time by need and sorrow,
Strikes today and not tomorrow.
Everything or nothing. All of us or none.
One alone his lot can’t better.
Either gun or fetter.
Everything or nothing. All of us or none.

The Poetry Show Podcast: Break My Heart

 


You Broke My Heart Fredo Poster by D Justin Johns - Fine Art America

 

Enlighten Radio Presents:

The April 26, 2023 LIVE Broadcast of The Poetry Show

Today's show features two American poets: Jane Kenyon and Joy Harjo. Both found deep American waters and burial grounds amidst the shrapnel and debris of the Sixties. These two poets, and me, share the memory of the explosions.

Poems Today:

After an Illness, Walking the Dog

Jane Kenyon

Wet things smell stronger,
and I suppose his main regret is that
he can sniff just one at a time.
In a frenzy of delight
he runs way up the sandy road—
scored by freshets after five days
of rain. Every pebble gleams, every leaf.


When I whistle he halts abruptly
and steps in a circle,
swings his extravagant tail.
Then he rolls and rubs his muzzle
in a particular place, while the drizzle
falls without cease, and Queen Anne’s lace
and Goldenrod bend low.


The top of the logging road stands open
and light. Another day, before
hunting starts, we’ll see how far it goes,
leaving word first at home.
The footing is ambiguous.


Soaked and muddy, the dog drops,
panting, and looks up with what amounts
to a grin. It’s so good to be uphill with him,
nicely winded, and looking down on the pond.
A sound commences in my left ear
like the sound of the sea in a shell;
a downward, vertiginous drag comes with it.
Time to head home. I wait
until we’re nearly out to the main road
to put him back on the leash, and he
—the designated optimist—
imagines to the end that he is free.

 

********

 

Alone For a Week

Jane Kenyon

I washed a load of clothes
and hung them out to dry.
Then I went up to town
and busied myself all day.
The sleeve of your best shirt
rose ceremonious
when I drove in; our night-
clothes twined and untwined in
a little gust of wind.
 
For me it was getting late;
for you, where you were, not.
The harvest moon was full
but sparse clouds made its light
not quite reliable.
The bed on your side seemed
as wide and flat as Kansas;
your pillow plump, cool,
and allegorical. . . .
 
********
 
Break My Heart
 
Joy Harjo
 

there are always flowers,
love cries, or blood.

someone is always leaving
by exhile, death or heartbreak.

the heart is a fist.
it pockets prayer or holds rage.

it’s a timekeeper.
music maker or backstreet truth teller.

baby, baby, baby
you can’t say what’s been said

before, though even words
are a creature of habit.

you cannot force poetry
with a ruler, or jail it at a desk.

mystery is blind, but wills you
to untie the cloth, in eternity.

police with their guns
cannot enter here to move us off our lands.

history will always find you, and wrap you
in its thousand arms.–

someone will lift from the earth
without wings.

another will fall from the sky
through the knots of a tree.

chaos is primordial.
all words have roots here.

you will never sleep again
though you will never stop dreaming.

Enlighten Radio Presents: The Poetry Show

The Poetry show broadcasts live Mondays 7AM Eastern....

April 17, 2023

with Hosts John Case and Janet Harrison


******* The Podcast *******



The Faces of Eve: Sail Away




This episode features poetry by Rainer Maria Rilke and Rita Dove turning the Genesis narrative on its head, and Eve in particular. We also feature The Dutch Shoe by Louis Jenkins, and Robert Bly's revision of Noah's search for Land after the Flood: Send not the dove; send the Crow.


Poems read today:

WHERE WE MUST LOOK FOR HELP


Robert Bly

The dove returns; it found no resting place;
It was in flight all night above the shaken seas.
Beneath Ark eaves
The dove shall magnify the tiger's bed;
Give the dove peace.
The split-tail swallows leave the sill at dawn;
At dusk blue swallows shall return.
On the third day the crow shall fly;
The crow, the crow, the spider-colored crow,
The crow shall find new mud to walk upon.

— Eating the Honey of Words: New and Selected Poems
HarperCollins, New York (1999), p. 7
Early Poems (1950-1955) (Web)

Louis Jenkins

The Dutch Shoe (from the Innisfree Poetry Journal)

She was out of the water for years, since the early fifties maybe, over at the shipyard in Superior. You could see her from the highway, her masts down, sails stowed away. I loved that boat. All the time I was growing up I made plans to buy her someday. What shall I say happened? That my father bought her and put her in the back yard and kept garden tools in the hold? Or that my mother bought her and kept her in the china closet with the jade Buddha and the eight-day clock? That her brass gleams in the firelight, still dry and harmless? No. I bought the Dutch Shoe and sailed to Rangoon and Singapore and a hundred other places. I faced incredible dangers and hardships. I talk loud and drink all night. When I snore I wake bears in the forest and fish in the sea. Early mist rises from the water. Ice forms on the masts. My hair has turned white and my teeth have fallen out. I can't see a thing and I am sailing away.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Genesis "trilogy": (trans. by Ernest Flemming)

In the Beginning

Ever since those wondrous days of Creation
our Lord God sleeps: we are His sleep.
And He accepted this in His indulgence,
resigned to rest among the distant stars.

Our actions stopped Him from reacting,
for His fist-tight hand is numbed by sleep,
and the times brought in the age of heroes
during which our dark hearts plundered Him.

Sometimes He appears as if tormented,
and His body jerks as if plagued by pain;
but these spells are always outweighed by the
number of His countless other worlds.

Adam

High above he stands, beside the many
saintly figures fronting the cathedral's
gothic tympanum, close by the window
called the rose, and looks astonished at his

own deification which placed him there.
Erect and proud he smiles, and quite enjoys
this feat of his survival, willed by choice.

As labourer in the fields he made his start
and through his efforts brought to full fruition
the garden God named Eden. But where was
the hidden path that led to the New Earth?

God would not listen to his endless pleas.
Instead, He threatened him that he shall die.
Yet Adam stood his ground:
Eve shall give birth.

Eve

Look how she stands, high on the steep facade
of the cathedral, near the window-rose,
simply, holding in her hand the apple,
judged for all time as the guiltless-guilty

for the growing fruit her body held
which she gave birth to after parting from
the circle of eternities. She left
to face the strange New Earth, so young in years.

Oh, how she would have loved to stay a little
longer in that enchanted garden, where
the peaceful gentle beasts grazed side by side.

But Adam was resolved to leave, to go
out into this New Earth, and facing death
she followed him. God she had hardly known.

Rita Dove via the Poetry Foundation


I Have Been a Stranger in a Strange Land

"Life's spell is so exquisite, everything conspires to break it."
Emily Dickinson


It wasn't bliss. What was bliss
but the ordinary life? She'd spend hours
in patter, moving through whole days
touching, sniffing, tasting . . . exquisite
housekeeping in a charmed world.
And yet there was always

more of the same, all that happiness,
the aimless Being There.
So she wandered for a while, bush to arbor,
lingered to look through a pond's restive mirror.
He was off cataloging the universe, probably,
pretending he could organize
what was clearly someone else's chaos.

That's when she found the tree,
the dark, crabbed branches
bearing up such speechless bounty,
she knew without being told
this was forbidden. It wasn't
a question of ownership—
who could lay claim to
such maddening perfection?

And there was no voice in her head,
no whispered intelligence lurking
in the leaves—just an ache that grew
until she knew she'd already lost everything
except desire, the red heft of it
warming her outstretched palm.

Winners Amd Losers: The Dutch Shoe Podcast

.... meaning revealed below....a Dutch Shoe race. 

********

********

Moving on from the failed appearance of a beloved local pastor, hosts Karen Valentine and John Case take on several of the easier spiritual challenges: Our show runs LIVE Fridays at 7 AM Eastern on Enlighten Radio.


******** 

1. Really, now that Easter is passed,  WHAT "nightmare vexed to that rocking cradle" was really born,  at the Nativity in Bethlehem centuries ago;  where CP30 and R2D2 were also present, as "the Wise Men"; what?



 
2. GPT, or some other AI incarnation, just assisted in a multi-thousand dollar robbery of a relative, including very skillful identity theft. What should we do?

3. Is the flood of so-called random gun violence a cover for targeted murders? If the law is powerless to protect, what can communities, or churches do?
