A Rosemary Nissen-Wade Poem

Quietly Surprising

(Found poem: Cryptic crossword clues)


One enters
very quietly
the final conduit
quiet knock
Len returning
with bits of broken shell
nice to come back
into quiet, first-rate court area
the French shelter
outside the open atrium
with a kind of concealed energy
the boy it brings back
makes hand signals in water surges
surprising boy dancer
a pro, he is faultless.

(2011)
