ANNE PORTER'S DAY
(1911-2011)

A mystical glow
on a long island wind
shadows the noonday sun
dripping windows
of its icicles

Friend to O'Hara
Schuyler, Ashbery
your artist husand
Fairfield,

My now unsealed
eulogy to you
who adored St. Francis
of Assisi
where a greater love
is revealed in this eulogy.
