ONE DAY IT WILL NOT BE THIS COLD

 


ONE DAY IT WILL NOT BE THIS COLD

The moment will pass like a wave

You will burrow yourself in the green gold curve of it

You will not be wounded

The moment will pass like a cloud

You will hide in the clefts of the rocks

With your one geranium pot on the window sill

And sing to yourself in the language of starlight

One day it will not be this cold

And the frost on the quilts will melt

And the strict meter of the glacial music

Will pass forever into dark blue silence
