Elegy For Jane Kenyon  

 Jane is big
with death, Don
sad and kind - Jane
though she's dying
is full of mind

We talk about the table
the little walnut one
how it's like
Emily Dickinson's

But Don says No
Dickinson's
was made of iron.
 No
said Jane
Of flesh.

Late  

 Late have I called &
late my 
beloved 
was blessing me 

I was covering 
my breasts with my arms 

 "Those doves" 
 you said 

In the sun I took my arms away

To Plath To Sexton  

 So what use was poetry
to a white empty house?

Wolf, swan, hare,
in by the fire.


And when your tree
crashed through your house,

what use then
was all your power?

It was the use of you.

It was the flower.
