  • Heat

    Summer dear, you come home so brown so hot / You fall on me breathing heavy: what heat! / And I write about fjords – watery inlets / And believe my song will protect me

  • The Joy of Singing

    It is not now important what anyone says / the grass is beautiful and sweet is the joy / of singing.
