One Moment seeks to observe the world completely frozen in time, allowing us to admire the parts of life that we often overlook: things that are beautiful, peaceful, and often left unmentioned. Lola Ridge’s poem, Interim, describes a conversation between the wind and the corn it often blows by. The two cheerfully wait for a bird to resume its flight amongst the stars in the sky, a moment of action about to unfold but left stationary; it is beautifully captured by time so we may finally acknowledge it.
Interim by Lola Ridge is in the Public Domain.
