“Kya turned to one by James Wright: Suddenly lost and cold, I knew the yard lay bare, I longed to touch and hold My child, my talking child, Laughing or tame or wild . . . Trees and the sun were gone, Everything gone but us. His mother sang in the house, And kept our supper warm, And loved us, God knows how, The wide earth darkened so.”

“She whispered a verse by Amanda Hamilton:
You came again,
blinding my eyes
like the shimmer of sun upon the sea.
Just as I feel free
the moon casts your face upon the sill.
Each time I forget you
your eyes haunt my heart and it falls still.
And so farewell
until the next time you come,
until at last I do not see you.”
