From "Tendency" One could live, therefore As if following a sparrow down a                                                 road of light Sturdy bluebells I paused the recording                          of the grass Grew hungry enough               to eat what was offered Or would I still be holding the pear And read all your books backwards As if there is no             direction In which one should live Excerpted from The Year of the Femme by Cassie Donish All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
