For the Anniversary of My Death
Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me
And the silence will set out
Tireless traveller
Like the beam of a lightless star
Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as in a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men
As today writing after three days of rain
Hearing the wren sing and the falling cease
And bowing not knowing to what
– W.S. Merwin, from The Lice (Atheneum, 1967)

The Unknown Travelers
Lugged to the gray arbor,
I have climbed this snow-stone on my face,
My stick, but what, snapped the avalanche
The air filled with slowly falling rocks
Breathed in deeply – arrived,
The white room, a table covered
With a towel, mug of ice – fear
Among the legs of a chair, the ashman,
Purple and gray she starts upright in her chair.
– John Ashbery, from The Tennis Court Oath (Wesleyan University Press, 1962)
