Maxine, back from a weekend with her boyfriend,smiles like a big cat and saysthat she's a conjugated verb.She's been doing the direct objectwith a second person pronoun named Phil,and when she walks into the room,everybody turns:
some kind of light is coming from her head.Even the geraniums look curious,and the bees, if they were here, would buzzsuspiciously around her hair, lookingfor the door in her corona.We're all attracted to the perfumeof fermenting joy,
we've all tried to start a fire,and one day maybe it will blaze up on its own.In the meantime, she is the one today among usmost able to bear the idea of her own beauty,and when we see it, what we do is natural:we take our burned handsout of our pockets,and clap.

The Voice by
Rupert Brookes
Safe in the magic of my woodsI lay, and watched the dying light.Faint in the pale high solitudes,And washed with rain and veiled by night,
Silver and blue and green were showing.And the dark woods grew darker still;And birds were hushed; and peace was growing;And quietness crept up the hill;
And no wind was blowing…
And I knewThat this was the hour of knowing,And the night and the woods and youWere one together, and I should findSoon in the silence the hidden keyOf all that had hurt and puzzled me –Why you were you, and the night was kind,And the woods were part of the heart of me.
And there I waited breathlessly,Alone; and slowly the holy three,The three that I loved, together grewOne, in the hour of knowing,Night, and the woods, and you –
And suddenlyThere was an uproar in my woods, The noise of a fool in mock distress,Crashing and laughing and blindly going,Of ignorant feet and a swishing dress,And a Voice profaning the solitudes.
The spell was broken, the key denied me,And at length your flat clear voice beside meMouthed cheerful clear flat platitudes.
You came and quacked beside me in the wood.You said, "The view from here is very good!"You said, "It's nice to be alone a bit!"And, "How the days are drawing out!" you said.You said, "The sunset's pretty, isn't it?“
By God! I wish -- I wish that you were dead!
