Lamp Post
At the street earner are four great
white midsummer moons Captured and hung on a post. Four all at once, unblinking, roun-d, and ivory-white, They stare unchanging all through the night hours, But in the morning become dull, commonplace things again; And then you would never guess that Every night on the street corner Are four midsummer moons, Bound and luminous and ivorywhite— Four all at once, That someone has captured and hung on a post. Dolores Cairns.
