The poem that I choose to read was "Discretion".  The beginning of them poem made since to me because it was clear what the writer was talking about, but towards the end of the poem I had some questions about parts of the poem that just did not make since to me.  The writer, which is in the point of view of the male during the poem, describes watching the woman he was camping with as she went to use the restroom.  Which I found very strange, not that he watched her to make sure she was safe, but the fact that he described what he saw.  He describes being able to lightly see everything because of the heavenly light.  And the narrator also describes the motionless leaves of aspen "licking her back".  Which explains that she went in the bushes or was obviously very close to some bushes and/or a tree.  From the beginning of the poem, all the way up to this point, it made since to me and I understood.  The next line in the poem is where I became confused, even after reading it several times.

"Illuminating even the deep green eyes of whatever animal it was that watched her from the forest--- a deer, I believed, and still believe". Thinking about this line from a literal point of view, it is not that hard to understand.  But in the next line he says, "though I confess I did not rise that night to make sure, did not shine my light or murmur, but waited...".  Part of me wants to believe that it really was a deer he saw, but at the same time I believe that what he saw that night was not a deer and it scared him so much that he did not want to mention it.  Another way to look at his reasoning for not saying anything to the girl using the bathroom lies in the name of the title, "Discretion", which means speaking in such a way as to avoid causing offense, or revealing private information.

When she makes her way back into the tent, he just laid his head back down, as if he did not watch her go.  When she went out of the tent, apparently he told her he would not look because at the end of the poem he says, "as she returned settle slowly back down to the pillow made of my clothes and welcomed her shivering back into the tent, from which I had sworn I would not look".  This all made since to me up to a certain point but I still have many questions about this poem.  One thing I am not sure of is why they are in the woods in a tent, and why they have no clothes on.  Also it would be helpful to know their relationship, and lastly I wanted to know if the narrator really did see a deer or was it something else.  Overall, the poem did make since and it was very interesting throughout the whole thing.
