Stern Poem for Elaine Feinstein

By Lee Harwood

The faces blur, yes,
but the actions carry through

Moving or not moving
the angle or degree matter little

except the realisation
of the powers
we all wield

are responsible
for what we do
the act politic

Storms blowing from the sou’west.
In the square the trees bend
and make noise.
Spring tides highest for 300 years

Believe me.
