black poetry

candles toppling sideways in tomato cans
you are beautiful and faded
the child who threw away leaf after leaf
against the green flame of the hawthorn-tree
sun and wind and beat of sea
i made a vow once, one only
gingham dog and the calico cat
were it not for that singular smell
under a spreading chestnut tree
why do you always stand there shivering
he's gone
