    if these our separate entities could come to grips,
    clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday

    and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
    Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.
    Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)

    Spreads the ice sheet on the shaven lawn;
