Today's poem is "Passage" by Lee McCormack, Cleaveland House Poet.
PASSAGE Surviving an August afternoon alone in a meadow of Queen Anne’s Lace I went inward like an animal of decaying light When night arrived I opened my eyes and walked out of my body slowly into the white flowering shadows of another life ~Lee McCormack, Cleaveland House Poet Stay Patched in!

Take a lyrical walk on a favorite beach with an Island poet, for this week's Sunday afternoon poem.
Squibnocket Beach Hard rattle of granite shaken by waves– ball mill miles long making sand. In the intermissions, tiny birds feed between stones that could kill if they moved an inch. Next wave breaks and they race up the beach together. Birds gain dry sand, safe. Then new food draws them back to trace the edge of just enough again. ~ Warren Woessner Originally posted on Patch by Mathea Morais Feb. 12, 2012.

Los Angeles celebrities turned out Saturday for a Tinseltown benefit in support of the Vineyard Playhouse, which is undergoing renovations. Supporters pledged to endow the ladies' bathroom stalls, among other parts of the theater.
This just in from Scott Arundale, former Edgartown summer resident and film school professor in Los Angeles: Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman), Tony Shalhoub ("Monk) and Allee Willis (Grammy-winning songwriter of the "Friends" theme) were spotted among the guests Saturday night at the Hancock Park, L.A. home of Lucy Dahl and John Laviolette, who were hosting a benefit for the Vineyard Playhouse Patricia Neal Theater.
