<strong>Crannóg</strong> <strong>No</strong> 7 winter 2004<br />
For a Daughter<br />
Gone to America Stephen Shields<br />
You are a new world dawning.<br />
The day was dense with rain<br />
when I delivered you<br />
to the airport. A check-in girl<br />
whisked away your luggage<br />
and the sterile escalator<br />
carried us up a floor.<br />
All the usual things,<br />
yet I was stunned<br />
as your head turned<br />
for the Departure Gates.<br />
<strong>No</strong>w I will watch the sun set<br />
where your day ripens.<br />
You are the last tangle<br />
of silver in my twilight;<br />
you are the shell whispering<br />
on that opposite shore.<br />
