BlossomIn Aprilthe ponds openlike black blossoms, the moonswims in every one; there’s fireeverywhere: frogs shoutingtheir desire, their satisfaction. Whatwe know: that timechops at us all like an ironhoe, that deathis a state of paralysis. Whatwe long for: joybefore death, nights in the swale - everything elsecan wait but notthis thrustfrom the rootof the body. Whatwe know: we are morethan blood - we are morethan our hunger and yetwe belongto the moon and when the pondsopen, when the burningbegins the mostthoughtful among us dreamsof hurrying downinto the black petalsinto the fire, into the night where time lies shatteredinto the body of another.

MountainsIn the blizzarding snowI see mountains, Up, above my head.I tripThe thick layers of snow , are now on my face.It is cold.I get up,And see a polar bear standing in front of meIt is white, With a coat of snow Standing on top, of the mountain

Symbolism

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference.

A Dream Within a Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!And, in parting from you now,Thus much let me avow-You are not wrong, who deemThat my days have been a dream;Yet if hope has flown awayIn a night, or in a day,In a vision, or in none,Is it therefore the less gone?All that we see or seemIs but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roarOf a surf-tormented shore,And I hold within my handGrains of the golden sand-How few! yet how they creepThrough my fingers to the deep,While I weep- while I weep!O God! can I not graspThem with a tighter clasp?O God! can I not saveOne from the pitiless wave?Is all that we see or seemBut a dream within a dream?
