baby shower poem

i have had one fear in my life
lived by the river-side
and as we walked the grass was faintly stirred
up from the south at break of day
soft as the bed in the earth
and my name is truthful
let a joy keep you
since, if you stood by my side today
i saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
the agony of having too much power
a flying word from here and there
tripping up, falling down
two rows of cabbages
