from Baskets

It is a good thing,
in the marketplace
the old woman trying to decide
among the lettuces,
impartial, weighing the heads,
examining
the outer leaves, even
sniffing them to catch
a scent of  earth
of which, on one head,
some trace remains – not
the substance but
the residue – so
she prefers it to
the other, more
estranged heads, it 
being freshest: nodding
briskly at the vendor's wife,
she makes this preference known,
an old woman, yet
vigorous in judgment.

– Louise Glück (1985)
