When she was a child I read Exodus

To my daughter ‘The children of Israel…’

Pillar of fire

Pillar of cloud

We stared at the end

Into each other's eyes Where

She said hushed

Were the adults

—George Oppen, “Exodus”

The new wood as old as carpentry

Rounding the far buoy, wild

Steel fighting in the sea, carpenter,

Carpenter

Carpenter and other things, the monstrous welded seams

Plunge and drip in the seas, carpenter,

Carpenter, how wild the planet is.

—George Oppen, “Carpenter's Boat”
