Ceiling without a star



Your clear eye is the one absolutely beautiful thing.

I want to fill it with color and ducks,

The zoo of the new


Whose name you meditate --

April snowdrop, Indian pipe,

Little


Stalk without wrinkle,

Pool in which images

Should be grand and classical


Not this troublous

Wringing of hands, this dark


Ceiling without a star.
