A SEQUENCE OF WOMEN: 1 by JAMES HARRISON

Poet Analysis

First Line: I'VE KNOWN HER TOO LONG
Last Line: OF THE OTHER.
Subject(s): LOSS; LOVE; MEMORY; MIDAS; MIRRORS; SEX; WOMEN;
I've known her too long:
we devour as two mirrors,
opposed,
swallow each other a thousand
times at midpoints,
lost in the black center
of the other.
