George Barker Love Poems
- 1. Sonnet To My Mother
Most near, most dear, most loved, and most far,
Under the huge window where I often found her
Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,
Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,
... - 2. January Jumps About
January jumps about

... - 3. Summer Song
I looked into my heart to write
And found a desert there.
But when I looked again I heard
Howling and proud in every word
... - 4. O Who Will Speak From A Womb Or A Cloud?
Not less light shall the gold and the green lie
On the cyclonic curl and diamonded eye, than
Love lay yesterday on the breast like a beast.
Not less light shall God tread my maze of nerve
... - 5. Grandfather, Grandfather
Grandfather, Grandfather,
what do pandas say?
Grandfather, Grandfather,
as among the rocks they roll
... - 6. In Memory Of David Archer (liv)
The words are always as
strange and dead as those
fragments and oddments that
the wave casts up on the shore:
... - 7. At Thurgarton Church
To the memory of my father
At Thurgarton Church the sun
burns the winter clouds over
... - 8. To My Mother
Most near, most dear, most loved and most far,
Under the window where I often found her
Sitting as huge as Asia, seismic with laughter,
Gin and chicken helpless in her Irish hand,
...

jerome kohn: am seraching for a poem by George Barker with these verses:
I have been too long away from my domain
Too much pursued my own will-o-the whips
Against a stranger pillow
To think that destinations conver
the running sore of separation.
