These poems will be retired from our archive during the coming week.
Ansel Elkins, "The Girl with Antlers"8. Poem From Last Year
When the train stops at the station he stands up,
moves to the corridor window, looks out and up
at a stone house quite close to the line.
With a stumbling ruin behind it, how it intrigues—
a view suggesting it belongs here,
and yet holds something strange. When I ask,
he says, Yes, I lived there once. I admire
the plain reticent outside. Yes. And do
people live there now? Oh yes, he says,
they have to stay, they have the bindery
and the herd. All that is still going on,
and as long as they stay there nothing will change.
You can see the big press for flattening the books in the shed.
Or at least I can, because I know it is there.
