Excerpt from Black Branches: A Book of Poems and Plays
Black Branches
Dedication - Potrait.
The asters wave
in the viridescent pattern
of your being here.
The lights deepened by gay awnings
rest aimlessly with drooping arms
on wide white armchairs.
The ringing of bells
draws faint echoes
from the well-dressed sides of the chains,
nestling in leaves.
In the winter
the lakes of your country
reflect thin flames
the fingers of trees
touch lightly your white and blue fabrics.
The brown fields
of restrained laughter
are dotted with the white teeth
of the snow.
Over your plains fly birds
unexpected ...
You assort the days and the nights
in your cabinets
with languid intelligence.
Improbably you touch the old beard of Truth
until the unwilling mouth
grows eloquent.
Little do you know
or care to know
of his past.
