J932 – F1062

My best Acquaintances are those
With Whom I spoke no Word —
The Stars that stated come to Town
Esteemed Me never rude
Although to their Celestial Call
I failed to make reply —
My constant — reverential Face
Sufficient Courtesy.
_____

Mes meilleures Connaissances sont celles
Avec Qui je n’ai soufflé Mot –
Les Astres qui prévus venaient en Ville
Ne m’ont jamais crue un lourdaud
Bien qu’à leur Invitation Céleste
J’aie failli de faire réponse –
Ma révérencieuse – constante Face
Courtoisie bien en suffisance.

Time as it Goes – strikes – a Protest –
Against Time as it went –
Raindrops about Eaves’ rim to Fall –
Renege Mists’ Counterweight –

I so many – Seconds pained through
Eternities to bear –
Sublimation be expedient –
Dispersing the Order –

To Weigh nothing – like Heaven does –
To suit no time Causal –
By not even Sparrow’s feather –
Or Himalayan tall –

The Whole is – not our – Paradise –
We crucifixions – Like –
Time’ll flow – our Hands Both left and right –
When Eden’s – Obdurate –
