The young drawing the old


These roots that grab my arm, your plant;

this plan devised in form of a vase by that mind behind your eye!…

 

This early sunrise, the sunny window to your soul, clearing the overcast eyebrow;

this naked bronze of mine!…

 

These cold waters unabridged, that my feet will not touch;

this continent where I sit, my shadow of your light!…

 

This spinal curve sustaining my thoughts, my inclination;

this weak wind, your breath, that keeps my hair alive!…

 

It must be a history of old I see over the horizon; on the horizon line.
