I am walked on a leash by my dog and am water only to be crossed by a bridge. Dog and bridge. An ear not owned by a face, an egg without a yolk and my mother without a rooster. Not to have been. London has no bees and it is bee time. No hounds in the orchard, no small craft warnings or sailing ships. In how many poems through how many innocent branches has the moon peeked without being round. This song is for New York City who peeled me like an apple, the fat off the lamb, raw and coreless. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE APOLLO TRIO by CONRAD AIKEN BAD GIRL SINGING by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 4 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 5 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE THE SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE IS LIKE THE SCENT OF SYRINGA by MINA LOY THE IDEA OF BALANCE IS TO BE FOUND IN HERONS AND LOONS by JAMES HARRISON |
