I think we all have to share the same sense of shame and the same sense of outrage.”

back the frightened way she came
and run alongnne, and run along now,
my stomach laced up like a football
for the game.”

“It was beginning winter,
An in-between time,
The landscape still partly brown:
The bones of weeds kept swinging in the wind,
Above the blue snow.”
