Miracle's truck comes down the little avenue, <br />Scott Joplin ragtime strewn behind it like pearls, <br />and, yes, you can feel happy <br />with one piece of your heart. <br /> <br />Take what's still given: in a room's rich shadow <br />a woman's breasts swinging lightly as she bends. <br />Early now the pearl of dusk dissolves. <br />Late, you sit weighing the evening news, <br />fast-food miracles, ghostly revolutions, <br />the rest of your heart.<br /><br />Adrienne Rich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/miracle-ice-cream/
