You see, I am a poet, and not quite right in the head, darling. It’s only that.

No one but Night, with tears on her dark face, watches beside me in this windy place.

Beauty is whatever gives joy.

autumn dust names
Now the autumn shudders In the rose's root. Far and wide the ladders Lean among the fruit. Now the autumn clambers Up the trellised frame, And the rose remembers The dust from which it came. Brighter than the blossom On the rose's bough Sits the wizened orange, Bitter berry now; Beauty never slumbers; All is in her name; But the rose remembers The dust from which it came.
past lasts saws
I saw and heard, and knew at last The How and Why of all things, past, and present, and forevermore.
