It Wouldn’t Be National Poetry Month Without…

in the rain-
darkness,     the sunset
being sheathed I sit and
think of you

the holy
city which is your face
your little cheeks the streets
of smiles

your eyes half-
thrush
half-angel and your drowsy
lips where float flowers of kiss

and
there is the sweet shy pirouette
your hair
and then

your dancesong
soul.     rarely-beloved
a single star is
uttered,and i

think
of you

~e.e. cummings
