Her bookshelf to the brim and bursting With pages worn, and well Remembered for the virtues Lost And husbands in the war Fallen woman--fall, and women Harvests sown and reaped Moon of full, of wax, of Wane Her heart of Shadow's seed Hand of diamond and of band Ashes, ashes, dust A love once lived and now, one Lost The pages' faces face us And sages burn, away

A Dedication to Anna Karenina, Penelope Keeling, and Francesca Johnson
Her bookshelf to the brim and bursting With pages worn, and well Remembered for the virtues Lost And husbands in the war Fallen woman--fall, and women Harvests sown and reaped Moon of full, of wax, of Wane Her heart of Shadow's seed Hand of diamond and of band Ashes, ashes, dust A love once lived and now, one Lost The pages' faces face us And sages burn, away
