| 505 | 0 | |a A dark woman, head bent, listening for something -- Here is a map of our country -- Two five-pointed star-shaped glass candelholders -- Late summers, early autumns, you can see something that binds -- Catch if you can your country's moment, begin -- A potato explodes in the oven. Poetry and famine -- (The dream-site) Some rooftop, water-tank looming, street-racket strangely quelled -- He thougth there would be a limit and that it would stop him. He depended on that. -- On this earth, in this life, as I read your story, you're lonely -- Soledad.=f. Solitute, loneliness, homsickness; lonely retreat -- One night on Monterey Bay the death-freeze of the century -- What homage will be paid to a beauty built to last -- (Dedications) I know you are reading this poem -- She -- That Mouth -- Marghanita -- Olivia -- Memory lifts her smoky mirror: 1943 -- Girl between home and school -what is that girl -- How telegrams used to come: ring -- What the grown-ups can speak of-would you push -- A young girl knows she is young and meant to live -- A girl wanders with a boy into the woods -- A woman of sixty driving -- A woman wired in memories -- Streets closed, emptied by force-Guns at corners -- Memory says: Want to do right? Don't count on me -- Tattered Kaddish -- Through Corralitos Under Rolls of Cloud -- Showering after 'flu; stripping the bed -- If you know who died in that bed, do you know -- The light of outrage is the light of history -- She who died on that bed sees it her way -- For a Friend in Traval -- 1948: Jews -- Two Arts: I've redone you by daylight-Raise it up there and it will -- Darklight: Early day. Grey the air-When heat leaves the walls at last -- Final Notations. | |
