Walking From Town Between
Midnight And 4 A.M.
I must have carried out
Every peeper in this valley
Home with me, 13 miles
The trees shiver in light rain
The moon following the
Fences following
A hillside of fog that lies down
Generously in the apple orchard
Here is where a few sheep
Suddenly break into a run
A horse pounds the night
Meeting you at the barbed wire
What is that sound between us
Walking Into Rain
At the last of rain
Water patters
From the low pines
To the shed
There is a quiet
The bucket turned over
My knife left standing
On the woodpile
A blackbird perches
On a dipping branch
Feeds from the deep berries
The woods are relaxed
From the waist of the field
Find the small light of the cabin
There — the silence we thought
We would never have
Simple Dress
It was you
Who wore the simple dress
And when there were wet flowers
We gathered them
And walked slowly, you hugging
Our treasure
Two fields to the road
Walking Down To Get Water
She'll return through the pasture
I'll find her shoulders
