mother poem

backward, turn backward
so fallen
they in the darkness gather and ask
the fragrance came
along a river-side
within my hand i hold
sleep, gray brother of death
evidenced in the glimmer in your eyes
she has a clear, wind-sheltered loveliness
for these white arms about my neck
i am in love with high far-seeing places
let me be sad
i stood
