Milkweed in Fall
Will God, Who hides inside each pod
Seeds for a hundred springs,
Neglect to send, when my fall comes,
The necessary wings?

Set Out the Cups
When I get home, I thought, I’ll make the tea.
I’ll put the kettle on, set out the cups —
Yours white, mine blue — and then we’ll sit and talk
About the service . . .
How the people sang
The ‘Alleluias’ in your favorite hymn!
How blue the heather was — almost as blue
As that you picked in Cornwall long ago
And tucked into my hair! And how our son,
So like you, made them laugh (Imagine that!)
With loving stories of his dad, and how
The gentle scent of roses followed us
As we filed out to stand among the stones . . .
When I get home, when I get home, I thought,
I’ll make the tea, we’ll sit for hours and chat.
I’ll put the kettle on, set out the cups —
Set out the cups . . .
no, put the white one back.
Clarine Coffin Grenfell, from The Caress and the Hurt, 1982
