Carl Sandburg

Cadenza

THE KNEES
 of this proud woman
are bone.
 
The elbows
 of this proud woman
are bone.
 
The summer-white stars
 and the winter-white stars
never stop circling
 around this proud woman.
 
The bones
 of this proud woman
answer the vibrations
 of the stars.
 
 In summer
the stars speak deep thoughts
 In the winter
the stars repeat summer speeches.
 
The knees
 of this proud woman
know these thoughts
 and know these speeches
of the summer and winter stars.
