from Day without Night

     The angel of god pushed the child's hand
     away from the jewels, toward the burning coal.

The image
of truth is fire: it mounts
the fortress of heaven.

Have you never felt
its obvious power?
Even a child
is capable of this joy.

Apparently
a like sun
burns in hell. It is hell,
day without night.

– Louise Glück (1985)

For Jane Myers

Sap rises from the sodden ditch

and glues two green ears to the dead

birch twig. Perilous beauty –

and already Jane is digging out

her colored tennis shoes,

one mauve, one yellow, like large crocuses.

And by the laundromat

the Bartletts in their tidy yard –

as though it were not

wearying, wearying

to hear in the bushes 

the mild harping of the breeze,

the daffodils flocking and honking –

Look how the bluet falls apart, mud

pockets the seed.

Months, years, then the dull blade of the wind.

It is spring! We are going to die!

And now April raises up her plaque of flowers

and the heart

expands to admit its adversary.

– Louise Glück (1975)
