REFLECTIONS IN THE WATER (AFTER DEBUSSY)

sad things. sad things.

what shall I do with all the sad things?

shall I nail them to the skies

that all the clouds may weep

from the paintings

in the great museums?

willows have swept the pond

for the drowned stars.

niobe, blue and rose has settled the rains.

for one green moment, miragelike in the Spring

imagining I did God a favour

I have left my only home.
