I'm sharing this poem that editor Emma Dryden shared on Twitter. It says so much in few words: the proof of truly great writing. Enjoy!
Lilacs In September
by Katha Pollitt
Shocked to the root
like the lilac bush
in the vacant lot
by the hurricane--
whose back branch split
by wind or rain
has broken out
unseasonably
into these scant ash-
colored blossoms
lifted high
as if to say
to passersby
What will unleash
itself in you
when your storm comes?
