Adrienne Rich/Poems 1978-1981.

A wild patience has taken me this far

as if I had to bring to shore

a boat with a spasmodic outboard motor old sweaters, nets, spray-mottled books

tossed in the prow

some kind of sun burning my shoulder-blades. Splashing the oarlocks. Burning through.

Your fore-arms can get scalded, licked with pain in a sun blotted like unspoken anger behind a casual mist.
