One of those blue official things;

The moon, a silver wafer, clings.

Journey

Ah, could I lay me down in this long grass
And close my eyes, and let the quiet wind
Blow over me-I am so tired, so tired
Of passing pleasant places! All my life,

Sleep, let me sleep, for I am sick of care;

Shut out the light; thicken the heavy air
With drowsy incense; let a distant stream

So that the white in me turns black
Before I shed off a single milk teeth
If I vacate that soothsome seat

The room is full of you!-As I came in
And closed the door behind me, all at once
A something in the air, intangible,
Yet stiff with meaning, struck my senses sick!-

I had some friends, but I dreamed that they were dead,
Who used to dance with lanterns round a little boy in bed;
Green and white lanterns that waved to and fro:
But I haven't seen a Firefly since ever so long ago!

And sifts down between the uneven roofs,
My mind begins to peek and peer.
It plays at ball in old, blue Chinese gardens,

Barnacled white and weeded brown
And slimed beneath to a beautiful green,
These wet rocks where the tide went down

Because she taste sweet like cake

For me to look back at those days.
When we didn't think of times being late,
When the heart shaped stars were our place.

And the soul bends down to wait;
Like the stealthy lord of the jungle,
The white man calls his mate.

Nothing lasts forever,

In The Bayou

Lazy and slow, through the snags and trees
Move the sluggish currents, half asleep;
Around and between the cypress knees,
Like black, slow snakes the dark tides creep-

bouncing from typewriter to piano
from bookshelf to an envelope lying on the floor,

Sonnet 012: When I Do Count The Clock That Tells The Time

And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;

In whose brown top the crows are loud,
Where, every side, great briers reach
And cling like hands, the beechdrops crowd

They showed him strange, unwonted sights;
Yet as he wandered up and down,
He seemed to scorn their vain delights.

In petals of flowers yet to bloom.

55 Years Of His Existence.

There is blood, There is blood.
In that blood he sees 55 years of his existence.
Blood graces the white floor just as failure graces his existence.
He look long back in his life, He sees a 16 year old to love his loved ones forever.

But words can break a heart too
A bandage, when ripped can hurt too

As the women in the village grind the corn,
And the parrots seek the riverside, each calling to his fellow
That the Day, the staring Easter Day is born.

Matching in pain and fear's
Sounds of Tear's on the black face of young and old, sold to sorrowful days
Who will go next? the question, but answer not given

A voice waking me up from death.

Along the wind-swept platform, pinched and white,
The travellers stand in pools of wintry light,
Offering themselves to morn's long, slanting arrows.
The train's due; porters trundle laden barrows.

Thrush and blue-bird came North together.

The city has fallen: only the hills and rivers remain.
In Spring the streets were green with grass and trees.
Sorrowing over the times, the flowers are weeping.
The birds startled my heart in fear of departing.

and that every so often the world is bound to shake.
He runs, he runs to the south, finical, awkward,
in a state of controlled panic, a student of Blake.
