"All passes, and the man
at work in the house
has mostly ceased to mind.
There will be pants
of ending, and he regrets
the terrors men bring to men.
But all passes--there is even
a kind of solace in that."

"Still sleeping, he heard
the phoebe call, and woke to it,
and winter passed out of his mind.
The bird, in the high branches
above the road-culvert mouth,
sang to what was sleeping,
two notes, clear and
harsh. The stream came,
full-voiced, down the rocks
out of the woods. The wood ducks
have come back to nest
in the old hollow sycamore.
The window has changed, no longer
remembering, but waiting."
