And such were the questions
so persistently asked, that children taught
words to speak at last, and the words
used their eyes, and held
their lips fast.“Such Were the Questions”

That Little Bit I Say
That little bit I say before it gives way
beneath its own weight,
and the icy wind upon the face
of the statue I’ve become
in this garden
of wonder,
O dear one,
hasten,
grace alone
can make the blood run,
love erase the trace of stone
and free the dove
I once was
winging home
before more words were spoken.
