Barbarism<\/em><\/h1>\n

Molly McQuade<\/h2>\n

BORN<\/p>\n

Be planted. Don’t do anything to stop it.
\nLet the woozy wrap around your nonnegotiable hardness
\nslump and stretch a little. It’ll take a few days.
\nThen your brown snood drops off
\nand riplets of dry tide, the squirms,
\nmutters, hiccups, carve
\nthe fey down delightful:
\nthey are sunk, and dark.
\nSand can be a lax receiver, but if you’re lucky,
\na hardy mound will hold you,
\nunwitted, yet to be trusted,
\nthose mineral courses
\nimpossible to feel or see, but good to think of.
\nStrum them if you like.
\nConduct a chorus of complaint
\nand groan,
\nreach, settle, and strive.
\nTell the small voices, so abstemious but muscular,
\nthat you will wait until the grand warm-up passes
\ninto lyric, deep song
\nof always yet to come.
\nAnd be playful. They will not want
\nyour wandering baton
\nor might or measly syllable
\nif you cannot sound it lightly.
\nKnow that even (or especially)
\nyour foremost wand
\nas it edges, ogles, and listens, testing ground,
\nletting loose, getting done,
\nis a spark’s fragment,
\na severe fraction
\nof the strength of tree or flower.<\/p>\n
