Understand, I'll slip quietly
away from the noisy crowd
when I see the pale stars rising, blooming over the oaks.
I'll pursue solitary pathways
through the pale twilit meadows,
with only this one dream:
You come too.
This is just to say, william Carlos Williams
I have eaten
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving for breakfast.
Forgive me
they were so delicious
so sweet
and so cold.
