WILD CORNER
j-ROM the trim lawn and border To your divine disorder I turn, my prodigal plot Where conscious pride is not. My love would wander sooner To your defiant corner Than, captured in design, The flowers that stand in line. You are an outcast, fool, A_ renegade from rule, But to each impudent weed A kindness you concede. And frantic lives unseen Are guarded by your greenTo the hunted given A hushed and watchful heaven. In your complexity And nonconformity Gratefully I find An image of my mind. -J. R. Hervey
