Poems 1945-1956
I'm still afraid to snare you with my breath,
drape you with blue banners of the dream,
or outside the misty door of my darkened castle,
burn torches, such that you'd find me...
I'm still afraid to free you from shimmering days,
from golden river bed of time's own river of sun,
fearing my heart would burst silvery above the moon's
own terrible countenance.
Look up and don't look at me!
The banners are sinking, the torches have been extinguished,
the moon follows the course it traces.
It's time you came to seize me, holy madness!
