free poem

under a spreading chestnut tree
the lightning flashed, and lifted
when, full of warm and eager love
i made a vow once, one only
to come so soon to this imagined dark
he came and took me by the hand
and my name is truthful
gloom
made up of loveliness alone
happiness
all down the years
beneath my window in a city street
my mother twines me roses wet with dew
