The Little Deity Alone in the Desert

Yvor Winters

MY life is here

A contemplation of slow days and distant women.

Women standing in the sky-line

As if about to turn into their shawls and leave their doorways.

The illimitable movement of my hand

Across the desert

Contrives against their motions and my being.
