First Love

Though nurtured like the sailing moon
In beauty's murderous brood,
She walked awhile and blushed awhile
And on my pathway stood
Until I thought her body bore
A heart of flesh and blood.
But since I laid a hand thereon
And found a heart of stone
I have attempted many things
And not a thing is done,
For every hand is lunatic
That travels on the moon.
She smiled and that transfigured me
And left me but a lout,
Maundering here, and maundering there,
Emptier of thought
Than the heavenly circuit of its stars
When the moon sails out.

In September's sun, everything's been done and everything's the same. In the pissing rain, you can wait all day, beside a window, for the day to go away. The sound of cars, the fear of bombs, it's enough to keep you in between the pillows sinking.
I stayed in bed till everything was read and nothing had been said on the television screen. I'll watch the plants grow -- wandering Jew, oregano -- as the bodies pile up and the cold winds blow.
There's a smell of death, a lingering unease, here in the kingdom, under a covenant of greed. We can make believe that we're underground, we can look within and talk about what we've found -- how we are not moved, as the bodies pile up in mounds.

You're a building collapsing, I'm an old freight train, where you hang out your washing, just in time for rain.
