In Light of Stars<\/em><\/h1>\n

Bruce Willard<\/h2>\n

Willard’s love of music combines with his love and respect for the natural world. Often rooted in, or coming out of, domestic encounters, the poems of this collection rise up (much like the clouds over his oft-traversed Rockies), as the speaker throws his attention to earth and sky, better to understand his own dynamic and shifting inner weather.<\/p>\n

DRY<\/p>\n

The sycamore leaves leathery,
\nflannelled one side,<\/p>\n

a congregation of hands
\nacross the lawn,<\/p>\n

palms skyward,
\nwaiting for rain.<\/p>\n

The ground
\nis gunpowder;<\/p>\n

anything
\nwill set it off.<\/p>\n

The Chinese say every storm
\nbrings prosperity.<\/p>\n

Six Septembers
\nour eyes have been dry,<\/p>\n

red-lined, patient.
\nWhat becomes us<\/p>\n

when the rains arrive?<\/p>\n
