Nico

IN ITS WATER-LILY FIELD
WIDE AND GREEN GROWS A TREE
AND FROM THE TREE HANG APPLES
NOT FOR YOU TO EAT
IN A WAY IT MATTERS MORE
THAN IT DID BEFORE
TO SEE THE EAST VOYAGING THROUGH
TRUE HEARTS OF DOOMS
MIRTHBIRTH
REVERIE
IN HARMONY
SOMERSAULT CARAVANS OF FOOLS
AS HE PASSES FOR REPLY
TO SING HIS SONGS AGAIN.
HE SWAYS O KISS THE HORIZONTAL GROUND
AND FROM THE GROUND A DOVE RISES
AND AS A MARK OF HONOR
A MASK IS LEFT BEHIND
MIRTH
BIRTH
REVERIE
IN HARMONY
TO GENTLE FORM A NOBLE FORCE
MASTER'S VOICE CASCADES
FROM HIS GENTLE STAGE
CALM AND VAST THE CITY LIES
ON A HORIZONTAL GROUND
