DANIEL LADINSKY
Even
after
all this time
the sun never says to the earth,
“You owe me.”
Look
what happens
with a love like that-
it lights the whole
world.

MILLAY
Under my hand the moonlight lay!
Love, if you laugh I shall not care,
But if I weep it will not matter-
Ah, it is good to feel you there!

JOHN O'DONOHUE
Is the word the work
Of some elder who quarries
The green mountain
For the hard deposit,
Refines it under black dust
That a bellows blows red,
Hammers it to a wafer
On the white anvil
Until it can carry its own loss,
The anger of the withering fire,
The unstruck echo of the mountain,
Yet succumb to breath
Like pollen to the breeze?
