In the winter it was a place wherr
homeless men built bonf1res alt
warmed their hands for an hour.
Today surveyor came and set ur
his instruments.
An excavator moved in, trucks camC
UP the street and turned in.
The surveyor goes and the men
come,
The men who drive the trucks.
The men with calloused hands,
The men who know how to
Put up brick wall

One Way of Parting.
Let me bind up your ripping hair.
Give me one glinting strand for
token
OF our season passing fair
That leaves our hearts not wholly
broken.

Dagger in the throat of sorrow.
Lest memory mock with tarnished
lies
The truth of words the heart has
poured.
Bind your dark hair about my eyes,
Lean your breast against this
sword. HARLAN.
