Classic and Contemporary Poetry
DAU AL SET, by TIMOTHY LIU Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Marking faces smeared with ash Last Line: That wide room called the world Subject(s): Social Commentaries | |||
A steady wind. A childhood that waits for us as daffodils shed their husks on a shore where no one has wept for years. There is another world, time enough for walks, for testimonies of wood in a cast-iron stove. A decrescendo. A wilderness on fire. Then rain. Finally snow with no one's footprints in it.
