Where the grass never tread by centuries of unknown footsteps Seek a romantic chase across the fields
Porches set like ancient tables Watch the feast missed by terrors met outside
A parchment of field laid brown - A hill –
Clouds headed miles from the flight of a solitary bird
Houses for Sale
Women walk with the sound of their children’s lives
Past the workmen’s trucks A conformity of red and green
The mountains’ glacier history was written before man’s time
And the streams mud gray and the weeds green Soft from a window Harsh to the naked foot.
A Vast Hope
