Your Sunday Poem

This from "Of Gravity & Angels," by Jane Hirshfield.  Loved the sly reference to W.H. Auden's poem, "Musee des Beau Arts."

Osiris

They may tell you the god is broken
into a higher life,
but it isn't true:
the one who comes back remains,
even riveted, even pieced-
together in spring,
an always-broken god.
The knots survive in his body,
the clenched-grain scars.
And the iced winter ponds are real:
the children, skating lightly there,
feel a secret shiver
as they cross the blue places
of darkness rising-to-meet,
where the other face of the god
is looking up.
