But She Is a Stranger Yet
- what I saw
- up the valley
- salt, salt
- colorless already
- under heavy snow
- opened beyond
- shutter, muzzle
- more here
- beyond meadow a joy
- unexpected
- in its femininity
- light projected
- dusk primeval
- forest growth
- ice age
- another first day
- at any moment
- whistled past
- a missile
- we had not expected
- women shaped
- like lamps
- grown out of
- deep emptiness
- in their extremities
