while my grandfather clung to the girders
you who cling, take my hand--do you need it?
there are hands all along your spine.
Stand! the sunlight on the rose compels
the rising scent compels it
the sun on the steel compels it
trust to the good guardian of your calves
dance. there is a flower in you
even the shadows are only a deeper shade
of rose.
