“How young it is, how young!”
And made a golden cradle
That on a willow swung.

“When I was brought to bed....””

“On the day that will always belong to you,
lunar clockwork had faltered
and I was certain. Walking
the streets of Manhattan I thought:
Remember this day. I felt already
like an urn, filling with wine.”
