teacher poem

i have known the silence of the stars and of the sea
my mother taught me that every night
the lightning flashed, and lifted
let us plant
a gleam of gold in gloom and gray
i saw with open eyes
the rain was over, and the brilliant air
i saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
eighty years have passed, and more
see, from this counterfeit of him
