The Treehouse Analysis

Whole Grain: Collected Poems, 1958-19891991To every man

His treehouse,

A green splice in the humping years,

Spartan with narrow cot

And prickly door.To every man

His twilight flash

Of luminous recall

            of tiptoe years

            in leaf-stung flight;

            of days of squirm and bite

            that waved antennas through the grass;

            of nights

            when every moving thing

            was girlshaped,

            expectantly turning.To every man

His house below

And his house above-

With perilous stairs

Between.

There have been no submitted criqiques, be the first to add one below.
