birthday poetry

when i was a boy at college
along a river-side
be not angry with me
no prey am i of poor thoughts
i flung my soul to the air like a falcon flying
daughters of time
three days i heard them grieve when i lay dead
her face is fair and smooth and fine
better than granite
along the banks
i can not tell you now
the child who threw away leaf after leaf
if i had known how narrow a prison is love
