Those Winter Sundays
by Robert E. Hayden
Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.
I’d wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he’d call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,
Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love’s austere and lonely offices?

Niobe of the Painting
After Maurice-Denis’s La petite fille a la robe rouge
By Kate Daniels
The girl in the red dress
is coming apart. Nothing
is holding her together
but imagination.
She’s hurrying, but it’s too late.
The gun has just gone off,
the water has already risen,
the car has skidded into the curve.
Once, she might have made it,
but now she knows too much
for eagerness or optimism.
Her heart is old
though her step is light.
All that remains is something
civilized: polite
consideration. So she’s hurrying
out of the picture to spare us the sight
of her indifferent surrender.
She knows it will happen to us, too.
She knows we are all coming apart,
that nothing holds anyone together
but imagination, pretense
a rare day of good weather.

Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks
A night full of talking that hurts,
my worst held-back secrets. Everything
has to do with loving and not loving
This night will pass.
Then we have work to do

Eight Qualifications to the Idea of Individuality by Gillian Wegener
i.
Each person crossing on the green light at the corner
of Post and Van Ness comes with a complete set of sorrows
so similar that the crossers confuse themselves with each other
when they see their reflections in the opposite window.
ii.
In the field, this blade of grass
and an infinity of identical others,
whispering.
iii.
She leaves the office on Friday and does not return.
(heart attack? boredom? suicide? amnesia?)
By Thursday, she is replaced by someone equally qualified.
iv.
An article announces that fingerprints were never reliable,
that my fingerprints may be just like yours.
v.
He writes stories, hopes to make himself immortal.
He knows this is futile, but turns the page, starts again.
vi.
It may be arrogance to believe yourself most important
-the squirrel chattering unheeded at the jay-
or it may be survival.
vii.
On the freeway, cars filled with people never met,
stories never heard, hatreds and loves never felt.
The moon orbits the earth each month and is still mystery
viii.
In any town, there must be someone each of us could love.
