The RetroLounge Daily Poem Thread (Sun 1/4/2009) |
|
Briefly It Enters, and Briefly Speaks I am the blossom pressed in a book, found again after two hundred years. . . .
I am the maker, the lover, and the keeper. . . .
When the young girl who starves sits down to a table she will sit beside me. . . .
I am food on the prisoner's plate. . . .
I am water rushing to the wellhead, filling the pitcher until it spills. . . .
I am the patient gardener of the dry and weedy garden. . . .
I am the stone step, the latch, and the working hinge. . . .
I am the heart contracted by joy. . . the longest hair, white before the rest. . . .
I am there in the basket of fruit presented to the widow. . . .
I am the musk rose opening unattended, the fern on the boggy summit. . . .
I am the one whose love overcomes you, already with you when you think to call my name. . . . Jane Kenyon
