From Carl Phillips, “Civilization”

From Carl Phillips, “Civilization” December 26, 2013

…There’s an art
to everything. Even
turning away. How

eventually even hunger
can become a space
to live in. How they made
out of shamelessness something
beautiful, for as long as they could.

(that’s the end of the poem and the part I like, but the whole thing is here)
