|
|
| I waited for my life to start / for years...
|
Time collapses between the lips of strangers...
|
Glory be to God for dappled things...
|
Now drops that floated on the pool...
|
|
|
|
|
| It will not last the night...
|
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons...
|
April / Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers...
|
so much depends / upon // a red wheel / barrow...
|
|
|
|
|
| The little girls / Running in the park at dusk / Are almost women now— / What you've missed...
|
I have wasted my life...
|
Skin doesn't have roots, it peels away easy as paper...
|
As to me I know of nothing else but miracles...
|
|
|
|
|
| I carry your heart...
|
Caught — the bubble / in the spirit level, / a creature divided...
|
I am looking for the trail. / Where is my testing-tree...
|
I was all hers as we peeled potatoes...
|
|
|
|
|
| the stones of the river / have sucked men's eyes dry...
|
they have carried me in their branches...
|
Trees make a long shadow / And a light sound...
|
This is the way the world ends...
|
|
|
|
|
| shine as it will, / The world will love its darkness still...
|
Everyone forgets that Icarus also flew...
|
I wake to sleep...
|
at least I have not woken up / with a bloody knife in my hand...
