Miracle's truck comes down the little avenue,
Scott Joplin ragtime strewn behind it like pearls,
and, yes, you can feel happy
with one piece of your heart.
Take what's still given: in a room's rich shadow
a woman's breasts swinging lightly as she bends.
Early now the pearl of dusk dissolves.
Late, you sit weighing the evening news,
fast-food miracles, ghostly revolutions,
the rest of your heart.

She just leaves me amazed. I love her cadence (subtle but insistent) . Her poetry does what poetry
is supposed to-that is to bridge the Divine and Physical-her poetry grabs me, jerks me up hard by the lapels-AND MAKES ME LISTEN.
