    Two Poems by Phoebe Reeves

    Part One, Question the Sixteenth: Works of Truth**

     

    There are fourteen species of silent star,

    and the species vary according to generative power.

    A woman cannot perform divination, knowing

    that blood and the dead answer. But think—

    the soul appeared through a woman who was

    a witch, just as the images of things

    are called by the names they represent.
