Poetry
One
Janet Lembke
All
done Summer ends
You are acquainted
with red clay and maple roots
And I who meant to praise your life
with filial salt know shocking joy
Your pain and much of mine are ash Let
rotting leaves and drunken rains lament
for I bereft of grief cannot
Death shall absolve me of
such emptiness It forgives
no one and every-
one
