aligned we are to corporeal reality









THE INTRUDER                                                   














ACROSS my book your hand augustly reaches—

  Thrusts it away.
I turn impatient to the window, watching
  The tossed trees’ play,
March sunshine glinting on a chilly rain-pool        
  That snow-banks frame.
A lusty wind comes gusting on its errand
  And names your name.
 
Captive, defeated, having striven I yield me
  To thought awhile;       
Letting the sunlight on the roughened waters
  Bear me your smile;
Hearing the mischief-making wind that named you
  Question afresh
If spirit find in spirit full contentment        
  Only through flesh.
