WIND AND WOMEN, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Adam and eve in the garden
Last Line: "a ...Cross..."
Subject(s): Wind; Women


Adam and Eve in the garden
Find love and find it sweet,
A cool wind comes, to temper
The heat.
"Oh, the wind!" says Eve, to her lover,
"I feel a shiver of fear!
We shall not be in this sheltered place
Next year."

A barge on the Nile. A princess
Seducing slaves and kings.
A wet wind flaps over the river
Its wings.
"Oh, the wind!" says Cleopatra,
And Antony's arm she clasps,
"In the dusk, do my bracelets look to you
Like ...asps?"

Jesus helping His mother
Gather the half-ripe fruit.
A tempest threatens the vineyard,
Branch and root.
"Oh, the wind!" says Mary-Mother,
"See, how the thorn-trees toss;
And two of their broken branches make
A ...cross..."
