sympathy poem

for truth, for love
while i stood listening, discreetly dumb
three years ago today
if the red slayer think he slays
glooms of the live-oaks
the child who threw away leaf after leaf
i have known the silence of the stars and of the sea
quietly, with reverance, in awe
with her hair flaying wildly
i think it just splendid
the single clenched fist lifted and ready
suddenly, out of dark and leafy ways
