Carving
He comes to understand
the spirit abiding in each scrap of wood
that passes through his hands
the spirit abiding in each scrap of wood
that passes through his hands
every child is born hesays
knowing the language of trees
for so long our unformed ear
is pressed to the wall of eternity
knowing the language of trees
for so long our unformed ear
is pressed to the wall of eternity
with his hands hesmoothes the wood
from which a face is beginning
to emerge
from which a face is beginning
to emerge
tools rest at his feet
the blackened little knife
a bent nail
the blackened little knife
a bent nail

Evelyn Posamentier's book of wonderfully mysterious and evocative poems Poland at the Door is now available from Knives Forks and Spoons Press in the UK. Here's one of the poems:
This is where we switch trains
my room sails through the fog.
wait a minute. sea sickness
throws me from wall to wall.
yet pastures settle their greenishness
in the sailing room. the trains
become confused. what next?
