SELF REFLECTING IN THE MIRROR OF MALEVICH

SELF REFLECTING IN THE MIRROR OF MALEVICH 

I stand in a circle of weeping light

An inscription from a poem I wrote

On the subject of Malevich

Where is that light and its migration

I wonder now in an altered nation

Thinking of the sweep of time

A little

But mostly still

Of Malevich.

In the square of night

So unresolved; 

My metaphor plays on and on

Mostly in my cloud dream head

Mostly I am still unread

But in my heart fond music streams

For my remembered heart wept gleams.
