Farewell Valentine

A sprig of marjoram

offers itself to you

one evening what else

can I do but take it

there are things in the oven

I cannot speak of

but they’re for supper

it was a long day-life

and illuminating

but from what source

inside does dreaming come

that’s what amazes me

not the white pillar

gleaming in the darkness

far out at sea.
