Sun-Up and Other Poems By Lola Ridge DEDICATION (To my Mother) Let me cradle myself back Into the darkness Of the half shapes… Of the cauled beginnings… Let me stir the attar of unused air, Elusive… ironically fragrant As a dead queen's kerchief… Let me blow the dust from off you… Resurrect your breath Lying limp as a fan In a dead queen's hand. Thanks is due to THE NEW REPUBLIC, POETRY, A MAGAZINE OF VERSE, PLAY-BO
