A poem by William Carlos Williams

The Desolate Field

________________________________________________
Title:     The Desolate Field
Author: William Carlos Williams [More Titles by Williams]

Vast and grey, the sky
is a simulacrum
to all but him whose days
are vast and grey, and--
In the tall, dried grasses
a goat stirs
with nozzle searching the ground.
--my head is in the air
but who am I...?
And amazed my heart leaps
at the thought of love
vast and grey
yearning silently over me.





[The end]
William Carlos Williams's poem: Desolate Field
