teenage love poem

i saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
rose and amber was the sunset on the river
in the dark and peace of my final bed
music i heard with you was more than music
gingham dog and the calico cat
let us plant
glooms of the live-oaks
in your arms was still delight
short and sweet, and we've come to the end of it
the earth keeps some vibration going
i have seen the proudest stars
to the passionate lover
sun and wind and beat of sea
the smell of the rose so false, the thorns so true
