Adrienne Rich (16 May 1929 – 27 March 2012 / Baltimore, Maryland)

A surrealist work that requires many readings. And I apologize for pigeon-holing it.

I had a few problems appreciating the beginning of this poem, but the ending is so powerful. So I made a point of reading it several times and focusing my mind (a rare event, being a bit scatterbrained) . And I find I do appreciate this poem in its entirety, though, I still consider the ending with that magnificent final line rather more spectacular.

Peace,

L&T

To do something very common, in my own way........said in a special deep manner here........hems

I'll get the hang of this one day. There's a crock of gold to be found I'm sure. I sense it but can't find it. I like enigmas. Well done
