It is summer, it is the solstice
the crowd is
cheering, the crowd is laughing
in detail
permanently, seriously
without thought.

so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.

My surface is myself.
Under which
to witness, youth is
buried. Roots?
Everybody has roots.

Sleep!
There is hunting in heaven --
Sleep safe till tomorrow.

But we who are wiser
shut ourselves in
on either hand
and no one knows
whether we think good
or evil.

Sorrow is my own yard
where the new grass
flames as it has flamed
often before but not
with the cold fire
that closes round me this year.

I will teach you my townspeople
how to perform a funeral
for you have it over a troop
of artists--
unless one should scour the world--
you have the ground sense necessary.

Night is a room
darkened for lovers. . . .

It is at the edge of a petal that love waits.

I am lonely, lonely.
I was born to be lonely,
I am best so!

Times change and forms and their meanings alter. Thus new poems are necessary. Their forms must be discovered in the living language of their day, or old forms, embodying exploded concepts, will tyrannize over the imagination.

A profusion of pink roses being ragged in the rain speaks to me of all gentleness and its enduring.

Forget all rules, forget all restrictions, as to taste, as to what ought to be said, write for the pleasure of it -- whether slowly or fast -- every form of resistance to a complete release should be abandoned.

I wanted to write a poem
that you would understand.
For what good is it to me
if you can't understand it?

Life is valuable -- when completed by the imagination. And then only.
