THE EXILE, by                    
First Line: Today a palanquin
Last Line: Above the water's edge?


Today a palanquin,
making a staccato of color
against the sky,
came by me.

As I watched,
the curtains were parted
and a white hand breathed the air.

When shall I go back?
When shall I see again
your little feet dancing
above the water's edge?
