Дикий ирис
Сlear morning

Оглавление

I’ve watched you long enough,

I can speak to you any way I like —


I’ve submitted to your preferences, observing patiently

the things you love, speaking


through vehicles only, in

details of earth, as you prefer,


tendrils

of blue clematis, light


of early evening —

you would never accept


a voice like mine, indifferent

to the objects you busily name,


your mouths

small circles of awe —


And all this time

I indulged your limitation, thinking


you would cast it aside yourselves sooner or later,

thinking matter could not absorb your gaze forever —


obstacle of the clematis painting

blue flowers on the porch window —


I cannot go on

restricting myself to images


because you think it is your right

to dispute my meaning:


I am prepared now to force

clarity upon you.
