Fall Song It is a dark fall day. The earth is slightly damp with rain. I hear a jay. The cry is blue.

SLAG With your breath upon me My love flames high with garnet sparks-- Like a furnace of molten steel, Windblown. Having felt the breath of God, Are the stars Mere smoldering slag Fallen from an immortal crucible Where souls are in the making?

To One Who Asked Ah, what are poems? There is a kind of tree That bruised, bleeds golden blood into the sea. And now you need not ask again of me.
