A personal piece for my beloved child

la musica




O visage of a plum to kiss
and ripest olives' gleam

Do you marvel
at the pull of this,
that you know it still?

The onward coursing wake
of pride and panic and flight

                                     He said- 'I'll put a rock
upon my heart
for you'--

         always,             I alone may tell you this.


so why do you halt and cringe
behind the wild mulberry's
bemused and insinuating eye
          spying ever
inward?

Not by accident,
but purposeful abandon,
Not by chance,
but determined negligence

have you come to be

And I would this day
claw bloody
              the span
of high flown vistas
to name it sweetly in your ear

Return its cadence to you
in rounded cupped hands-
               Once more
your smile tasting
of dill weed and citron

Must you still wonder?

The helix uncoils only to at last divide.

Listen:

the  music of this
by which you were made--

Simply remember.
