Transition Poem # 59: Poems in the Aftermath
Poem:
Winter Bonnets
—after Rilke’s Fifth Duino Elegy
where are those holy wanderers
their healing herbs
their ornately flowing inscriptions
what crushed them
those fiercely blossoming roses
their gaping faces their thin surfaces
savagely wrung out
how can we live on without them
their bright red knowing
how quiet our still small griefs
in spring summer autumn
blindly creating
our usual fallen unripe fruits
why this heavy wind
suddenly this laborious nowhere
forever saved up forever hidden
how can we make them return
snug in their winter bonnets
