A poem by Lola Ridge

Altitude

________________________________________________
Title:     Altitude
Author: Lola Ridge [More Titles by Ridge]

I wonder
how it would be here with you,
where the wind
that has shaken off its dust in low valleys
touches one cleanly,
as with a new-washed hand,
and pain
is as the remote hunger of droning things,
and anger
but a little silence
sinking into the great silence.






[The end]
Lola Ridge's poem: Altitude
