Poems
Mar 2012
HAVE GONE OVER.
The tulips have gone over,
Here and there, their bloomless stalks
Are like decapitated
Corpses in some religious
Foreign state. The Mayflower
Is in bloom like a splendid
Bride, white blossoms, and hidden
Branches, where many birds hide,
Whose beautiful songs echo
The countryside, a chorus
Of angels in paradise.
In the house, curtains are drawn,
In the bedroom, a woman
Lies strangled over her bed,
A red cord about her neck;
Her blue eyes staring lifeless
At the pink flowered curtains,
Which seem faded in the sun.
