Sara Teasdale At Fontainebleau
Infant
she arrives in Etruscan autumn
bearing the gift of ghosts
sighing across centuries of sea.
Barren
she sees endless Fall
in halls bare of the dead boar
of Saint Louis.
Woman
she tastes victory
under the sign poetess
birthing breathing souls
on the blood red floor
of October foliage.
