'You Rise the Water Unfolds'
You rise the water unfolds
You sleep the water flowers
You are water ploughed from its depths
You are earth that takes root
And in which all is grounded
You make bubbles of silence in the desert of sound
You sing nocturnal hymns on the arcs of the rainbow
You are everywhere you abolish the roads
You
sacrifice
time
To the eternal youth of an exact flame
That veils Nature to reproduce her
Woman you show the world a body forever the same
Yours
You are its likeness.

And that which governs me to go about
Doth part his function and is partly blind,
Seems seeing, but
effectually

For it no form delivers to the heart
Of bird, of flower, or shape which it doth latch:
Of his quick objects hath the mind no part,
Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch;
For if it see the rud'st or gentlest sight,
The most sweet favour or deformed'st creature,
The mountain or the sea, the day or night:
The crow, or dove, it shapes them to your feature.

Bread few, 'twas clear, the hermit would deny,
And rich he might have been you may rely;
When he drew near, the
children
quickly cried
Here's father Philip--haste, the alms provide;
And many pious men his friends were found,
But not one female devotee around:
None would he hear; the FAIR he always fled
Their smiles and wiles the friar kept in dread.

If not his birth, at least the claim to live.

And so, then, all that you call sinning,
Destruction,--all you pronounce ill-meant,--
Is my

That's why I'll never have a child,
Never shut up a
chrysalis
in a match-box
For the moth to spoil and crush its bright colours,
Beating its wings against the dingy prison-wall.

Take my leaves America, take them South and take them North,
Make welcome for them everywhere, for they are your own off-spring,
Surround
them East and West, for they would surround you,
And you precedents, connect lovingly with them, for they connect
lovingly with you.
