/The dead and the living, 1983.<br />
(For Muriel Rukeyser)<br />
People keep seeing you and telling me<br />
how white you are, how thin you are.<br />
I have not seen you for a year, but slowly you are<br />
forming above my head, white as<br />
petals, white as milk, the dark<br />
narrow stems of your ankles and wrists,<br />
until you are always with me, a flowering<br />
branch suspended over my life.<br />
