SPRING BLIZZARD by JAMES GALVIN

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: A LIMB'S SENTENTIOUS CRACK
Last Line: I WISH YOU WOULDN'T LOOK AT ME THAT WAY
Subject(s): SNOW; SPRING;

A limb's sententious crack
Is its apology for breaking.

Far enough is far enough for once.

When we mention @3the world@1,
We mean our fate before we know it.

I broke as you were mentioning the world.

This is how the moon feels
Whose orbit snaps in apogee.

I wish you wouldn't look at me that way.
