DPF / Collins

For baby boys, from Picnic, Lightning.

from Moon / by Billy Collins

It’s as full as it was
in that poem by Coleridge
where he carries his year-old son
into the orchard behind the cottage
and turns the baby’s face to the sky

DPF / Andresen

from The Mirrors / by Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen

All day the mirrors kindle their brilliance
Never are they empty
