When water turns ice does it remember
one time it was water?
When ice turns back into water does it
remember it was ice?

Can you begin to own
both yourself and your shadow?
Can you measure
moments in the sun
when your shadow lays down your shape?
Does your shadow speak to you
or it it you telling your shadow
what to be telling you?
Can a man listen to his shadow
hoping it tells him where to go,
what to do when he gets there?
Has ever been a man praying,
"Make me into a thin
goblet of glass, oh Lord,
I fear what my shadow tells me?"

What is there for us two
to split fifty-fifty,
to go halvers on?
A Bible, a deck of cards?
a farm, a frying pan?
a porch, front steps to sit on?
How can we be pals
when you speak English
and I speak English
and you never understand me
and I never understand you?

Speak to the branches of spring
and the surprise of blossoms:
they too hope for a good year.

Carl Sandburg … that’s a name I don’t see very often. One of my earliest reading memories was of puzzling through Sandburg’s Rootabaga Stories. I still look for it when I browse used bookstores.

path,Your comment is so interesting! I was thinking the same thing: does anyone even know his name anymore? (I'm not familiar with the title you've mentioned; what genre?)
It’s a book of children’s stories, if I remember correctly.
