Kay Ryan on lending a hand with Brazil

The best bit of this wet and windy weekend lies in reading my bloglines and discovering through 3quarks Daily another poet who delights,
Kay Ryan, the new Poet Laureate to the United States.
Already I am marvelling over how much she communicates with so little.
ATLAS
Extreme exertion
isolates a person
from help,
discovered Atlas.
Once a certain
shoulder-to-burden
ratio collapses,
there is so little
others can do:
they can’t
lend a hand
with Brazil
and not stand
on Peru.
