The Pool



Are you alive?
I touch you.
You quiver like a sea-fish.
I cover you with my net.
What are you—banded one?


-- H. D. (Hilda Doolittle) (1886-1961), American poet, novelist, essayist, and translator.; LGBTQ pioneer. This poem was written while she was expecting her first child with husband Richard Aldington.
