Airport poem by the inimitable W. S. Merwin - thanks Kanlaon -
Neither Here Nor There/
An airport is nowhere/
which is not something/
generally noticed/
yet some unnamed person in the past/
deliberately planned it/
to be there/
and you have spent time there/
again/
and are spending time there again/

The place where we are right -- a poem
The Place Where We Are Right/
by Yehuda Amichai/
From the place where we are right/
Flowers will never grow/
In the spring./
The place where we are right/
Is hard and trampled/
Like a yard./
But doubts and loves/
Dig up the world/
Like a mole, a plow./
And a whisper will be heard in the place/
Where the ruined/
House once stood./
Again, thank you, you who sent this.
