“Love” Poems For Kathy Number Sixteen

THESE DAYS

These days are moon-milk or magnificent fire,

fronds of furious flowers,

but none grows.

Winter is here

with the dying light, the early dusk

and a sparrowless morning that neither knows

chorusing birds nor dew:-

though through

cold-closed, and pinch-shut, eyes, curtains

show an extravagant blue this morning

while evening, plumped up by a few giddy stars,

gives up –

and ghosts of pale lights withdraw,

leaving a tinder-sky, black through.
