through the country.
Atlanta, Georgia to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.Want to want to want to do this. Never never never will.
Will just have to live vicariously through, who else, Swampy.
Atlanta, Georgia to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.Even the sun-clouds this morning cannot manage such skirts.
Nor the woman in the ambulance
Whose red heart blooms through her coat so astoundingly--
A gift, a love gift
Utterly unasked for
By a sky
Palely and flamily
Igniting its carbon monoxide, by eyes
Dulled to a halt under bowlers.
O my God, what am I
That these late mouths should cry open
In a forest of frost, in a dawn of cornflowers.
- Poppies in October by Sylvia Plath
