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.

Jean Valentine
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
by
Jean Valentine
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.
