Minimalist Song

In the mystery of the endless
balances a planet.
And on the planet, a garden,
and on the garden, a flowerbed;
on the flowerbed, a violet
and upon her, the whole day,
between the planet and the endless,
the wing of a butterfly

Chelsea Morning
Woke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I heard Was a song outside my window, and the traffic wrote the words It came a-reeling up like christmas bells, and rapping up like pipes and drums Oh, won’t you stay We’ll put on the day And we’ll wear it ’till the night comes Woke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I saw Was the sun through Click here, and a rainbow on the wall Blue, red, green and gold to welcome you, crimson Click here to beckon Oh, won’t you stay We’ll put on the day There’s a sun show every second Now the curtain opens on a portrait of today And the streets are paved with passersby And pigeons fly And papers lie Waiting to blow away Woke up, it was a chelsea morning, and the first thing that I knew There was milk and toast and honey and a bowl of oranges, too And the sun poured in like butterscotch and stuck to all my senses Oh, won’t you stay We’ll put on the day And we’ll talk in present tenses When the curtain closes and the rainbow runs away I will bring you incense owls by night By candlelight By jewel-light If only you will stay Pretty baby, won’t you Wake up, it’s a chelsea morning

This Unimportant Morning

This unimportant morning
Something goes singing where
The capes turn over on their sides
And the warm Adriatic rides
Her blue and sun washing
At the edge of the world and its brilliant cliffs.

Day Click here in the higher airs
Pure with cicadas, and slowing
Like a pulse to smoke from farms,

Extinguished in the exhausted earth,
Unclenching like a fist and going.

Trees fume, Click here, pour - and overflowing
Unstretch the feathers of birds and shake
Click here from windows, brush with dew
The up-and-doing: and young lovers now
Their little resurrections make.

And now lightly to kiss all whom sleep
Stitched up - and wake, my darling, wake.
The impatient Click here has been waiting
Under the house, his long oars folded up
Like wings in waiting on the darkling lake.
