SAD-HEART

If the poem will not crystallise for you—
A night when neither the Northern
Nor the Southern Crowns could be seen—
It may be that the dashes in the document
Ascribed to you are too much
In themselves... eager sad-heart.

Butterflies wander in the mist,
Yet flies are clattering on the ground.
The path is clear, and every day
Certainty weakens its grip.
