Archie Randolph Ammons Wind Poems
- 1. Small Song
The reeds give way to the wind
and give the wind away.
... - 2. When I Was Young The Silk
When I was young the silk
of my mind
hard as a peony head
unfurled
... - 3. Poetics
I look for the way
things will turn
out spiralling from a center,
the shape
... - 4. So I Said I Am Ezra
So I said I am Ezra
and the wind whipped my throat
gaming for the sounds of my voice
I listened to the wind
... - 5. An Improvisation For Angular Momentum
Walking is like
imagination, a
single step
dissolves the circle
... - 6. Corsons Inlet
I went for a walk over the dunes again this morning
to the sea,
then turned right along
the surf
...
