Joy?
It mocks me like the sound of falling water
That tricks the ear of the thirst-mad wretch
Dying in the desert.
My desert is Silence!
It covers the bleak rotundity of the earth.
Ten Square Feet of Garden
Did you ever see my garden? See my mallow? See my larkspur?
My petunias like censers, snowy white and full of honey?
And my phlox, a summer snow-bank, and my haughty purple asters?
