Donald Revell


For Lucie

That would be bread.
That would be a table.
This is death, but it moves
Only one way;
And so the bread escapes,
And the table along with it,
Easily—as easily
As water spilled from a cup
All over the ground.

Now that I come to it,
Why agree to it?
Every quarter of the wind is bread.
Every blade of grass is a table.
We are walking beside deer through a halo.
