I dreamed that dead and meditating	A
I lay upon a grave or bed	B
at least some cold and close built bower	C
In the cold heart its final thought	D
stood frozen drawn immense and clear	E
stiff and idle as I was there	F
and we remained unchanged together	C
for a year a minute an hour	C
Suddenly there was a motion	G
as startling there to every sense	H
as an explosion Then it dropped	I
to insistent cautious creeping	A
in the region of the heart	J
prodding me from desperate sleep	K
I raised my head A slight young weed	L
had pushed up through the heart and its	M
green head was nodding on the breast	N
All this was in the dark	O
It grew an inch like a blade of grass	P
next one leaf shot out of its side	Q
a twisting waving flag and then	R
two leaves moved like a semaphore	C
The stem grew thick The nervous roots	S
reached to each side the graceful head	B
changed its position mysteriously	T
since there was neither sun nor moon	U
to catch its young attention	G
The rooted heart began to change	V
not beat and then it split apart	J
and from it broke a flood of water	C
Two rivers glanced off from the sides	W
one to the right one to the left	X
two rushing half clear streams	Y
the ribs made of them two cascades	Z
which assuredly smooth as glass	P
went off through the fine black grains of earth	A2
The weed was almost swept away	B2
it struggled with its leaves	C2
lifting them fringed with heavy drops	D2
A few drops fell upon my face	E2
and in my eyes so I could see	T
or in that black place thought I saw	F2
that each drop contained a light	G2
a small illuminated scene	H2
the weed deflected stream was made	I2
itself of racing images	J2
As if a river should carry all	K2
the scenes that it had once reflected	L2
shut in its waters and not floating	A
on momentary surfaces	J2
The weed stood in the severed heart	J
What are you doing there I asked	M2
It lifted its head all dripping wet	N2
with my own thoughts	O2
and answered then I grow it said	B
but to divide your heart again	R
