Amy Clampitt Quotes

Meridian


First Daylight On The Bittersweet-hung
sleeping Porch At High Summer; Dew
all Over The Lawn, Sowing Diamond-
point-highlighted Shadows;
the Hired Man's Shadow Revolving
along The Walk, A Flash Of Milkpails
passing; No Threat In Sight, No Hint
anywhere In The Universe, Of That

apathy At The Meridian, The Noon
of Absolute Boredom; Flies
crooning Black Lullabies In The Kitchen,
milk-soured Crocks, Cream Separator
still Unwashed; What Is There To Life
but Chores And More Chores, Dishwater,
fatigue, Unwanted Children; Nothing
to Stir The Longueur Of Afternoon

except Possibly Thunderheads;
climbing, Livid, Turreted Alabaster
lit Up From Within By Splendor And Terror
-- Forded Lightening's
split-second Disaster.
