A third poem by M.A. Jenene

[An untitled poem by M.A. [Mary Ann] Jenene. Published in Beaufort (1923).]

Feminine domesticity as the life of a sleepwalker in the dark, in contrast to the poet’s acceptance of a life in “the embittered sun”? There may be an echo of Wallace Stevens’s “Sunday Morning” — “We live in an old chaos of the sun” — in the poem’s final line.
