  2. Anne Michaels _ Poems: The Weight of Oranges,

    Now we're like planets, holding to each other from a great distance. {...} Now we're hundreds of miles apart, our short arms keep us lonely, no one hears what's in my head. {...} It's March, even the birds don't know what to do with themselves.
