Tithonus

oh April

this late snow

winter with its wet kiss

yet the night cools but slowly

sun soon will cupping round come strong

this casual

from conversation comes: how things

beginning are

indistinguishable

green sprouts with their life

at once piercing vivid and transparent nearly

by each replica dawn

makes its distinctions in distortions

that come between you with their lovely gauze

each replica

dawn and dawn o Tithonus!

in April these

infinite prisms of mortal white shall have short stay

though inextinguishable in their way.
