Present Poet

You raised an unhurried, church-like escape.

You lingered in shimmering idleness;

Or lengthened a prayer into a lance;

Or strengthened a thought till it heaved off all of life

And dropped its sightless heaven into your smile.

Life, to us, is a colourless tangle.

Like madly gorgeous weavers

Our eyes reiterate themselves on life.
