Louise Glück

Poem

In the early evening, a now, as man is bending
over his writing table.
Slowly he lifts his head; a woman
appears, carrying roses.
Her face floats to the surface of the mirror,
marked with the green spokes of rose stems.
 
It is a form
of suffering: then always the transparent page
raised to the window until its veins emerge
as words finally filled with ink.
 
And I am meant to understand
what binds them together
or to the gray house held firmly in place by dusk
 
because I must enter their lives:
it is spring, the pear tree
filming with weak, white blossoms.
