trust of time

 

lordly christ

is woman by the trust of time

and in blue blouse is overswung

the sea-face of eternity -

in ladylegs the losing

against being gale gaiety.

in the heart of the emerald

is the green world grown

lawn to night on fast's

vast achingnesses' greetings but

being will be welled once in sound:

stillness flowing in deep hollow's savings

a cool water to the heart's round.
