Excerpting Senior Writers: Carla Ferreira '12

Ferreira reflects on her poetry thesis.

St. Lucy’s

Advertisement

To be granted grace in midwinter

by the softness of sunlight

breaking the smooth network

of tentative leaves in the small space

made intimate by benches and shrubs,

by its young trees whose hope rests

in tightly closed buds

as water breaks from the pipes

which crawl the brick building

is to almost forget the empty playground.
