Two Portraits From Miller
George Miller. 30 (some odd) poems. Toronto: Three Tree Press, 1977.
"Padraig O'Broin"
[…]"John of Glasgow"
In the tundra between the lines
we eye each other guardedly
[…]Ever alert to the traces of life and its enjoyments in a land of cold.
There is still among the dying
more life than among the dead
[…]
star blood
earth bone
part light
part stone
[…]
Our breath hangs in the air
like evidence for the soul
and there are countries we
have not seen which will taste
like crisp apples
when we go to them
in the morning
And so for day 1870
