What have I to say to you
\nWhen we shall meet?
\nYet\u2014
\nI lie here thinking of you.<\/p>\n
The stain of love
\nIs upon the world.
\nYellow, yellow, yellow,
\nIt eats into the leaves,
\nSmears with saffron
\nThe horned branches that lean
\nHeavily
\nAgainst a smooth purple sky.<\/p>\n
There is no light\u2014
\nOnly a honey-thick stain
\nThat drips from leaf to leaf
\nAnd limb to limb
\nSpoiling the colours
\nOf the whole world.<\/p>\n
I am alone.
\nThe weight of love
\nHas buoyed me up
\nTill my head
\nKnocks against the sky.<\/p>\n
See me!
\nMy hair is dripping with nectar\u2014
\nStarlings carry it
\nOn their black wings.
\nSee, at last
\nMy arms and my hands
\nAre lying idle.<\/p>\n
How can I tell
\nIf I shall ever love you again
\nAs I do now?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
