  • One leaf left on a branch and not a sound of sadness or despair. One leaf left on a branch and no unhappiness. One leaf left all by itself in the air and it does not speak of loneliness or death. One leaf and it spends itself in swaying mildly in the breeze.

    David Ignatow (2011). “Against the Evidence: Selected Poems, 1934–1994”, p.124, Wesleyan University Press

    David Ignatow, Ralph J. Mills (1980). “Open between us”, Univ of Michigan Pr

    Stars   Eye   Clouds  
    David Ignatow (2011). “Against the Evidence: Selected Poems, 1934–1994”, p.57, Wesleyan University Press
  • One can fall in love as often as a tree grows leaves. It is perfectly natural but not free of guilt and complications, unless one takes oneself to be a leaf.

  • The burden of living one’s own life is experiencing sensations that no one else can share.

    Life Is   Burden   Share  
    David Ignatow, Ralph J. Mills (1980). “Open between us”, Univ of Michigan Pr
  • If flowers want to grow right out of the concrete sidewalk cracks I'm going to bend down to smell them.
