The Hawk

MARBLE MOMENTS

I was hitch-hiking in the North Country
And for one marble moment I stood transfixed
By a roadside grove:
Yellow leaves on white birch trees,
Blue scattered northern columbines
Perched among the rocks.
The ecstatic height of that framed sight
Lives only in my gallery
Of unrecorded memory
Lost to transported spheres.

A lot of things have been going on since the last time you read my column. First, the student Government Association ( SGA ) has elected new officers,which will take effect at the end of May, 2008. Second, the theater club has been restarted. The Theater Club and the SGA will be working closely together in the next few motnhs ahead to bring to you different activities and fundraisers here on campus.

The month of May will be the time that Officers of the Theater Club wwill be inaugurated. The date will be forth coming. The Theater Club is hoping to plan two fundrasiers for the summer, in hopes of rasing money for the club. Look out for the upcoming events in thwe Hawk. Theater Club is open to all students on campus and we look forward to having you join us.

CICATRIX

The heart is like a honeycomb,
Each section having many rooms:
Faith, and love, and hope, and trust.
Some hearts were never made to stand
The pains that years of life will hand;
Yet bear that pain we must.
So in those rooms of honeycombs
There are many silent, sacred tombs
With locks that never rust.
Each searing pain will close a door,
And, though we walk on as before,
There is a little less of us.
And, sometimes in the evening’s gloom,
We reach into some closed off room
And drag a skeleton from a shelf;
And, though we do not understand,
We turn it o’er as best we can,
And put it back to rest.
