~I COULD NOT HOPE

I could not hope
to touch the sky
with my two arms

~ROUND ABOUT ME

Round about me hum the winds
of autumn
Cool between the apple boughs;
and slumber,
Flowing from the quivering
leaves to earthward,
Spreads as a river

~AWED BY HER SPELNDOR

Awed by her speldnor

Stars near the lovely
moon cover their own
bright faces
when she
is roundest and lights
earth with her silver

~ALTHOUGH THEY ARE

Although they are

Only breath, words
which I command
are immortal

~YOU MAY FORGET BUT

You may forget but
Let me tell you
this: someone in
some future time
will think of us

~THE MOON HAS SET

The moon has set,
And the Pleiades. It is
Midnight. Time passes.
I sleep alone.
