"The Finders of London" is a choice pick for any poetry collection. "Lenten Moon": Above the plane tree in the park and moving fast -- Lenten Moon --/you silence the birds with fullness. Down here -- it's my neighbor's birthday; we sing and laugh not fasting much at all -- and you -- crisp/ as a crust moon, crow and sugar moon, light the yard.//Chaste Moon, they've got you wrong, you're not spotless, you/man-scars are vivid and dark. Stories of how the crow flies, birds/that become rabbits, the child that spoke and how we nearly died/ laughing, get told in the dark crisp air. Are you impressed? You're/ clear of the chimneys now and rising.
