And now, far off
In the fragrant darkness
The tree is tremulous again with bloom
For June comes back.

To-night what girl
Dreamily before her mirror shakes from her hair
This year's blossoms, clinging to its coils?

The towers of Notre Dame cut clean and gray
The evening sky, and pale from left to right
A hundred bridges leap from either quay.

Because it's in the world. (It's not just women who are controlled in the book.. it's everyone except those at the top. Gilead is a theocratic totalitariansim, not simply a Men-have-power Women-do-not world. Lower status men are told when and who marry, eg.)

All the poet can do to-day is to warn.
That is why the true Poets must be truthful.

Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.

Maybe I’ll swap out “Blackberry Picking” for this one...apparently all the poets eat blackberries in September!

[Academy of American Poets @POETSorg]

of blackberry-eating in late September.
