To Speak Of The Wind

A poem inspired by the exploration of deep and uncertain things.

1599
To Speak Of The Wind
Self

I am the wind,

Carrying, Carrying,

Carrying.


The copper sea floods me from ear to ear,

Resilient in the space between the eye and the brow,

The constitute parts of the flowing narrative

Resting in the anxious knowing of how.


Wake in your grass, leaves on your mouth

Drifting off in the nautilus south,

Dreaming inside the ghostly sheath,

Shadowed by the sweet Zagreus wreath.


Thumping, the wine draws through,

Round and round, thumping through,

Channeling the chalice of the crystal steer,

From in, the bloody blue,

From in, the timely true.


Fearless and framed, the lonely post is named,

Future and fame, the wooded plot is found,

Standing strong, a summer moon,

Falling over, the drapery rune,

Deeply, we hide beneath,

Lemmings dotting the winter spoons.


Onto grey, our image projects,

For it is the neutral stone you most reject.

Balance the jester, the sexual hues,

Knitting the father of the spools,

Loving the mother of the fools.


Heartful homes, we regress, true,

Paining presence, we repress, sooth

Mantled shadow over the fireplace blue:

Blackberries read in ignorant dues.

Lovely tears, yet fearless true:

I most admire you.

Resilient waves, thundering caves,

I speak of you too,

For it is through the wind, wrapping round and round,

Round and through:

That I,

That I most carry you.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
