Jack Gilbert's poetry
The blue sky after a bit of rain
A friend's dream of me being pregnant, two times
Not being pregnant in any way but the metaphorical
Suddenly Adult
The train's stopping wakes me.
Weeds in the gully are white
with the the year's first snow.
A lighted train goes
slowly past absolutely empty.
Also going to Fukuoka.
I feel around in myself
to see if I mind. Maybe
I am lonely. It is hard
to know. It could be
hidden in familiarity.
Jack Gilbert
I love, "I feel around in myself to see if I mind." Awesome line.
