family poem

awful truths these be
i saw the first pear
as i lie roofed in, screened in
i saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
when i looked into your eyes
death's nobility again
long has the summer sunlight shone
along the banks
i have to say good-night
one by one, like leaves from a tree
weak-winged is song
the old songs
into the silent land
with lips blood red and heart of stone
