THE FACE OF THE PRECIPICE IS BLACK WITH LOVERS by THOMAS MCGRATH

First Line: WHERE ARE YOU NOW
Last Line: Scatching a living from the snow
Subject(s): ABSENCE; LOVE; SNOW; SEPARATION; ISOLATION;

Where are you now --
Little birds of the summer?

Letters still arrive . . .

Through the back window
I see a sparrow
Scatching a living from the snow . . .
