Subject(s): Silence
I wish for silence beating like a tide
Around this narrow room that fancy shapes,
A net of silence, intimate and wide,
From which no fluttering moth of dream escapes.
Now for one quivering moment I shall peer
At swiftly-fettered wings the net maroons
Before I let them fashion poems here
Or let them fade like unforgotten moons.
