Gardens Under the Rain
after Ceri Richards
Precipitous hues for prepositions, brush to the sea-revising sun,
wand of soaked fire, salt come up to seed
the clouds, downfallen cool and diagonal water, drinkable now
to garden, its border blued in
in heavy heads, hydrangeas fed aluminum sulfate, blued up in green
pear peelings and grass.
Moon is to the blueness of panicles
as sea-water is
to the whiteness of rain. Mine like an act
or the act of receiving. Born in the woulds of the given
body, waking up this often to.
