MOTHER GARDEN'S ROUND
The year was river-throated, with the stare of legend.
Then truth the whirlwind and Mother Garden. Death.
And now these stars, antlers, the masks of speech,
And the one ghost a glove in the middle of the floor.
Garden my green may grow.
If you were here tonight, my heart would rest,
Would rest on a support, happy thereon.
Something is dancing on leafdrift, dancing across the graves;
A child is watching while the world breaks open.
Garden my green may grow.
– Muriel Rukeyser (published in Poetry, April 1955)
