“To Summer” You can only have a lot of power, never enough: the strength to lift rivers from their beds one drops after another up, millions spirited heavenward... lifted in the giddiness of sunstroked days above the drought and dead cattle the mud and fester made not from their leaving but their failure to return. And in your long absense too you can paralyze the flow, ice the brooks, freeze stone banks. You can also return late, stay too long, appear surprised, come to tempt or disappoint. This we know, we who eat what will grow, rise and sleep, and leave just once. —Alan Nadel
