REED BYE

On Her Way

Coat trailing

She doesn’t like being in the corral

In the sky an eagle

Anne as Doctor of the Arts

leading her class

to practice

She can’t wait

seeing the sky—

How much can she hold

in her heart—word-gathering

Whirling sword-

mouth—intake and production

Impulse

Expulse

walking along

fashionably

layered woodsman

Anne is that one too
