| 48. Shagbark Hickory |
| IN the moonlight under a shag-bark hickory tree | |
| Watching the yellow shadows melt in hoof-pools, | |
| Listening to the yes and the no of a woman’s hands, | |
| I kept my guess why the night was glad. | |
| The night was lit with a woman’s eyes. | 5 |
| The night was crossed with a woman’s hands, | |
| The night kept humming an undersong. |
