The Small Space

The small space

     of a lover\'s eye

A bed of hay

    on which to die

 

A desert waste

     from sea to sea

A journey sure

     to finish me

 

The walled garden

     of my lover\'s heart

The vain glory 

     of my petty art

 

A molting grackle

     in the rain

A screech, a shiver,

     a shower of shame
