PROMISES ARE FOR LIARS, by JAMES GALVIN Poem Explanation Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Because, you know Last Line: To defend | |||
Because, you know, Either you're going To do it or You're not. Slight as light Reflected from the stream Onto the wavering Willow leaves, Eternal love Doesn't need Eternity, see? A cyclone of sand- Hill cranes Rises from the corn Slathering the Ephemeral work. Let's don't worry. Let's don't ask. Our institutions Are standing by. But I keep thinking How easy it is To get lost in the sky With nothing holy To defend. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A MAN'S VOCATION IS NOBODY'S BUSINESS by JAMES GALVIN A POEM FROM BOULDER RIDGE by JAMES GALVIN A POEM FROM THE EDGE OF AMERICA by JAMES GALVIN A PORTRAIT OF MY ROOF by JAMES GALVIN ABOVE HALF MOON by JAMES GALVIN AFTER THE PAPAGO by JAMES GALVIN |
