    Earth does not understand her child,

    Returns, depleted and defiled,
    To the still woods, to fling him down.

    Her mane falls wild on her forehead,
    And the light breeze moves me to caress her long ear
    That is delicate as the skin over a girl’s wrist.
    Suddenly I realize
    That if I stepped out of my body I would break
    Into blossom.
    —James Wright (1927–1980)

    You common people of the skies,
    What are you when the moon doth rise?
