  篇1

  Star Quilt

  by Roberta J. Hill

  These are notes to lightning in my bedroom.

  A star forged from linen1 thread and patches.

  Purple, yellow, red like diamond suckers, children

  of the star gleam on sweaty nights. The quilt unfolds

  against sheets, moving, warm clouds of Chinook.

  It covers my cuts, my red birch clusters under pine.

  Under it your mouth begins a legend,

  and wide as the plain, I hope Wisconsin marshes

  promise your caress. The candle locks

  us in forest smells, your cheek tattered

  by shadow. Sweetened by wings, my mothlike heart

  flies nightly among geraniums.

  We know of land that looks lonely,

  but isn't, of beef with hides of velveteen,

  of sorrow, an eddy in blood.

  Star quilt, sewn from dawn light by fingers

  of flint, take away those touches

  meant for noisier skins,

  annoint us with grass and twilight air,

  so we may embrace, two bitter roots

  pushing back into the dust.

  篇2

  Stars Wheel in Purple

  by H. D.

  Stars wheel in purple, yours is not so rare

  as Hesperus, nor yet so great a star

  as bright Aldeboran or Sirius,

  nor yet the stained and brilliant one of War;

  stars turn in purple, glorious to the sight;

  yours is not gracious as the Pleiads are

  nor as Orion's sapphires, luminous;

  yet disenchanted, cold, imperious face,

  when all the others blighted, reel and fall,

  your star, steel-set, keeps lone and frigid tryst

  to freighted ships, baffled in wind and blast.

  篇3

  Rent

  by Jane Cooper

  If you want my apartment, sleep in it

  but let's have a clear understanding:

  the books are still free agents.

  If the rocking chair's arms surround you

  they can also let you go,

  they can shape the air like a body.

  I don't want your rent, I want

  a radiance of attention

  like the candle's flame when we eat,

  I mean a kind of awe

  attending the spaces between us——

  Not a roof but a field of stars.

  篇4

  Steps

  by Grace Schulman

  "And down and down and down,"

  the toddler's mother sings

  as he clears every ledge.

  Midway we cross their path.

  In rain, the museum's steps

  loom like the Giant's Stairway

  to Guardi's Ducal Palace.

  "And up and up and up"

  is what I do not say

  as you stagger for balance.

  Once I'd scaled that summit,

  hunted over the crowd,

  and saw you below, holding

  two hot dogs and white roses;

  you vaulted, took the steps

  two at a time, then three,

  and leaped to where we met.

  Your smile is broader now.

  You see more. On this day

  of wavering, we hear

  a Triton blow the horn

  where Giotto's Magi open

  hands that rise in air:

  up, and up, and up.

  篇5

  Streets

  by Naomi Shihab Nye

  A man leaves the world

  and the streets he lived on

  grow a little shorter.

  One more window dark

  in this city, the figs on his branches

  will soften for birds.

  If we stand quietly enough evenings

  there grows a whole company of us

  standing quietly together.

  overhead loud grackles are claiming their trees

  and the sky which sews and sews, tirelessly sewing,

  drops her purple hem.

  Each thing in its time, in its place,

  it would be nice to think the same about people.

  Some people do. They sleep completely,

  waking refreshed. Others live in two worlds,

  the lost and remembered.

  They sleep twice, once for the one who is gone,

  once for themselves. They dream thickly,

  dream double, they wake from a dream

  into another one, they walk the short streets

  calling out names, and then they answer.
