Under a sky that keeps no secrets,

the field stone hides

what it’s holding deep inside.

Why complain about the cold? The badger wants

to test his fur for winter, and your old bones

need dress rehearsals for the fleshless times.

The shadow in the empty barn has blood in it;

the smell of dust and shorn hair settles

on your shoulders like a grandfather’s worn coat.

I want a poet who goes outside,

who knows the small mechanics

of the clothespin and the muddy boot.

St. Sebastian

Say you are lonely. There are miseries

the choirs can’t sing even in the great cathedrals

that make a slave child of the light.
