Art books and peace poems are arriving
As if the gulf stream had changed its course....
But without words...
An analyst friend once told me:
"When you send messages...
Use your wornds, not other people's please..."
And so I'm wondering
If you're busy fullfilling promises
Taking off weights from your shoulders
Or if, like the swallows in winter
Your mind flies southwards
To rest on the curl of some catherdral carvinng....
1980's
