Intermezzo
|
|
|
|
So rarely rain
|
|
these years
|
|
with the sound's
|
|
percussive fall
|
|
the seethe
|
|
a water stopped
|
|
along the eves
|
|
a quiet house

try evening the measure

|
that
|
|
the house is glad
|
|
it might be
|
|
as the presence
|
|
in the house
|
|
is of its measure
|
|
gladness.
|
|
So rarely
|
|
these years
|
|
the light's reflection
|
|
gild of panes
|
|
the morning and the evening
|
|
were
|
|
the same
|
|
of the same day

clearing of storm

|
clouds's interference

not common

Set the branch

still no way.

Just as the oars lie hushed above the water
|
|
so the water quitted below the lapstrake hull
|
|
where shadow flattens wave along the drift
|
|
not always memory the surge is on
|
|
slips oil the trace a little closer
|
|
wake that stirs a hand in tending
|
|
balanced that the oars are ready
|
|
should a wind arise and break this dream
|
|
the landfall shore is raised a bit
|
|
to ride the sea and all outriders rigged
|
|
the news a bird's cry following
|
|
on doom of bell the steadied buoy
|

above the shoal and sun to rise again
|
|
the gilded windows island homestead
