POEMS<br />

THE LITTLE DEITY ALONE IN THE DESERT<br />

My life is here<br />

A contemplation of slow days and distant women.<br />

Women standing in <strong>the</strong> sky-line<br />

As if about to turn into <strong>the</strong>ir shawls and leave<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir doorways.<br />

The illimitable movement of my hand<br />

Across <strong>the</strong> desert<br />

Contrives against <strong>the</strong>ir motions and my being.<br />

LATE WINTER<br />

The duller plains of dawn<br />

near this<br />

Gray 'dobe of bare fruit-trees—<br />

hesitant<br />

A foot upon <strong>the</strong> sill.<br />

A REQUIEM FOR THE MEMORY OF BEES<br />

Lake Michigan<br />

A brown flowering tree<br />

On twilight<br />

Was but a far<strong>the</strong>r spinning of<br />

<strong>the</strong> sprinkled blackbirds.<br />

[318]
