the Cambridge ladies who live in furnished souls
are unbeautiful and have comfortable minds
Tulips and Chimneys (1923)
lady through whose profound and fragile lips
the sweet small clumsy feet of April came
into the ragged meadow of my soul.
is 5 (1926)
dreamtree,truthtree
tree of jubilee:with aeons of (trivial
merely)existence,all
when may not measure
a now of your treasure
yes is a pleasant country...
love is a deeper season
than reason
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any — lifted from the no
of all nothing — human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?
XAIPE (1950)
nothing false and possible is love
(who's imagined, therefore limitless)
love's to giving as to keeping's give; as yes is to if, love is to yes
nothing except the impossible shall occur

Tulips and Chimneys (1923)
the cunning the craven
... they live for until
though the sun in his heaven
says Now
a politician is an arse upon
which everyone has sat except a man
each ignorant gladness —unteaches what despair preaches
unlove's the heavenless hell and the homeless home
the courage to receive time's mightiest dream
exists no miracle mightier than this:to feel
Mostpeople have been heard
screaming for international
measures that render hell rational
—i thank heaven somebody's crazy
enough to give me a daisy
though mankind persuades
itself that every weed's
a rose,roses(you feel
certain) will only smile
it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
seeker of truth
follow no path
all paths lead where
truth is here
now I lay me down to dream of(nothing
i or any somebody or you
can begin to begin to imagine) something which nobody may keep.
