SPRING BLIZZARD, by JAMES GALVIN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: A limb's sententious crack
Last Line: I wish you wouldn't look at me that way
Subject(s): Snow; Spring
First Line: A limb's sententious crack
Last Line: I wish you wouldn't look at me that way
Subject(s): Snow; Spring
A limb's sententious crack
Is its apology for breaking.
Far enough is far enough for once.
When we mention the world,
We mean our fate before we know it.
I broke as you were mentioning the world.
This is how the moon feels
Whose orbit snaps in apogee.
I wish you wouldn't look at me that way.
