TREE
you repeat the human tragedy, Whether it be Love drooping from the heavy disclosure, Or despair Signalling the empty air. ON you the black stain Of the rain: On us Tears that darken the heart, UTUMN’S victim, ravaged saint, Wrapt in a golden martyrdom, One with all burning names Born of the flames. OR bankrupt, bare to winter, Beauty worn to the bone, And in that cold calatnity Announcing a heart’s insolvency. : R, erect in summer, beaded with birds, You are lover, proud with, sun, Rapt above the crawling fates that put The shadows at your foot.
