Laura (riding) Jackson Poems
1. Yes And No
Across a continent imaginary
Because it cannot be discovered now
Upon this fully apprehended planet-
No more applicants considered, ...

But how to mean more closely
If the sun shines but approximately? ...

Though the mind is meek.
To be aware inwardly

The atoms of the Monoton-
Each turned three essences where it stood ...
6. The Poet's Corner
Here where the end of bone is no end of song
And the earth is bedecked with immortality
In what was poetry
And now is pride beside ...
7. In Due Form

I know you love me.
It is a fact of your indoor face,
A true fancy of your muscularity. ...
