graduation poem

under a spreading chestnut tree
city that is not a city
gingham dog and the calico cat
she has a clear, wind-sheltered loveliness
a thousand silent years ago
i know what you're going to say
i stand in the cold gray weather
i have come into the desert because my soul is athirst
in the dark and peace of my final bed
eighty years have passed, and more
their beautiful hair
the darkness steals the forms of all the queens
i have heard them in the night
shades of night were falling fast
