From Ammons’ collection The Really Short Poems
Figuring Belief
Praying answers prayer:
in the deep spells
of inquiry and hope,
a self
enabled to rise again
to the compromises
and the shattering caring
forms
Triplet
Iris leaves
threes-in-one
cut
broadside into sun and rain
to send high
flop loose the
hairy huzzy
iris bloom
Planet Actions
The spider, dashing from
marginal boughshade
to cross the driveway
hits the hot macadam
and, legs dancing,
scoots back for
the cool: brother,
I effuse, hot
weather we’re having!
Salute
May happiness
pursue you,
catch you
often, and,
should it
lose you,
be waiting
ahead, making
a clearing
for you.
