graduation poem

three years ago today
hang no wreath
i never knew the earth had so much gold
as i lie roofed in, screened in
risen from the dead
sweet with fern and rose
by the shore, by the sea
if i should die, think only this of me
let us express our baser passions
sleep, gray brother of death
what was it the engines said
i saw him once before
have we no shame?
