birthday poem

babylon-where i go dreaming
i am in love with high far-seeing places
backward, turn backward
in new york harbor
be not false
have we no shame?
in mournful numbers
my mother twines me roses wet with dew
i go my way complacently
out of me unworthy and unknown
they ask me where i've been
sweet splendor
