birthday poem

over the rooftops race the shadows of clouds
in an old chamber softly lit
still her gray rocks tower above the sea
up from the south at break of day
skies they were ashen and sober
within this lowly grave a conqueror lies
i am in love with high far-seeing places
the body may confine
little park that i pass through
out of the sparkling sea
my mother taught me that every night
splendid and terrible your love
from our hidden places
