PARK AT NIGHT by JAMES HARRISON

Poet Analysis

First Line: UNWEARIED / THE COO AND CHOKE
Last Line: SOME CELLOPHANE.
Subject(s): ABSENCE; PARKS; SEPARATION; ISOLATION;
Unwearied
the coo and choke
of doves
the march of stone
an hour before dawn.

Trees caged to the waist
wet statues
the trickling of water --
in the fountain
floating across the lamp
a leaf
some cellophane.
