The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 4/23/08 |
|
"Night Song"
Spring; the air is October. The night-swathed maples linger in mid-breeze
and everyone seems to be sleeping or away.
And my belly, the whole middle of my body swells, as when I carried you—
or later, like your body as it passed into night.
I was your mother, and night passed through me, into night.
No one can touch me. No one can touch me.
—Sarah Maclay

1. Fierce. I like this one very much. Amazing what can be done... |
|
...with so few words. A glimpse inside a consciousness, the conversation therein. Adamant.

2. I don't know why the author isn't more famous. |
|
Maybe she needs to put out a few more books, I dunno.
