To One Away

by Sara Teasdale

Sara Teasdale

I heard a cry in the night,
A thousand miles it came,
Sharp as a flash of light,
My name, my name!
It was your voice I heard,
You waked and loved me so-
I send you back this word,
I know, I know!

    Margaret's Speech
    by Norman Dubie
    I'm a frogman. Naked by the water Under a lean of canvas she'd sewn With a thick paraffin thread, She gestured. When we pulled him From the river His left leg was meal. Crayfish in the hair.
