• Love in the Asylum (119)
• This Side of the Truth (116)
• Poem in October (115) — (required reading for turning 30)
“And I saw in the turning so clearly a child’s
forgotten mornings when he walked with his mother
through the parables
of sun light
and the legends of the green chapels
And the twice told field of infancy
That his tears burned my cheeks and his heart moved in mine.”
