After a moment, something begins to happen...
      ALL HALLOWS
      [Louise Gluck, The_House_on_Marshland, 1971]
     
      Even now this landscape is assembling.
      The hills darken. The oxen
      sleep in their blue yoke,
      the fields having been
      picked clean, the sheaves
      bound evenly and piled at the roadside
      among cinquefoil, as the toothed moon rises:
     
      This is the barrenness
      of harvest or pestilence.
      And the wife leaning out the window
      with her hand extended, as in payment,
      and the seeds,
      distinct, gold, calling
      *Come_here*
      *Come_here,_little_one*
     
      And the soul creeps out of the tree.
