A Final Sonnet: Romeo and Juliet (Yellow Couple)
Door dark all day the leaves keep time The secret thing
undoing of a season’s work You said come
& I held still Said speak & I put my hand
through your chest
Tell me, how
can I go forward when my heart is here? I am no
pilot
merely a wanton’s bird I should have been more
strange
I confess but I’m not sorry I said goodnight
& wandered away It sweetened your eyes
upon my dreaming self moved across you
like an invisible
cloud I am leaving, good pilgrim
but expect you to enter
any minute Spread close thy curtain to me
It is nearly autumn now Hello.
