Josephine Miles: So Graven

Simplicity so graven hurts the sense. 
The monumental and the simple break
And the great tablets shatter down in deed.
 

Every year the quick particular jig
Of unresolved event moves in the mind,
And there's the trick simplicity has to win.
 
JosephineMiles (1911-1985): So Graven, 1946, from Collected Poems 1930-83

Josephine Miles: Made Shine

This face had no use for light, took none of it,
Grew cavernous against stars, bore into noon
A dark of midnight by its own resources.

Yet where it lay in sleep, where the pillows held it
With the blind plaster over it and the four walls
Keeping the night carefully, it was undone.

Sixty-watt light, squared to a window frame,
Across a well of air, across wind and window
Leaped and made shine the dark face in its sleep.


Josephine Miles (1911-1985): Made Shine, 1939, from Collected Poems 1930-83

Indian pedestrians carry a dog as they make their way past others sheltering in a pavilion during a heavy monsoon rain downpour in Shimla on June 22, 2016.     At least 93 people have been struck by lightning and killed in India over the past two days, disaster management officials said, as annual monsoon rains swept the country. Lightning strikes are relatively common in India during the June-October monsoon, which hit the southern coast earlier this month, but this week's toll is particularly high.  / AFP PHOTO / STRSTR/AFP/Getty Images
