Poem: "I Ran Out Naked In The Sun" by Jane Hirshfield


I Ran Out Naked In The Sun

I ran out naked
in the sun
and who could blame me
who could blame

the day was warm

I ran out naked
in the rain
and who could blame me
who could blame

the storm

I leaned toward sixty
that day almost done
it thundered
then

I wanted more I
shouted More
and who could blame me
who could blame

had been before

could blame me
that I wanted more
The Writer's Almanac, September 12. (I'm reminded of AW, one of my teachers)
