| from Al Que Quiere! (1917) |
If I say I have heard voices
who will believe me?
"None has dipped his hand
in the black waters of the sky
nor picked the yellow lilies
that sway on their clear stems
and no tree has waited
long enough nor still enough
to touch fingers with the moon"
I looked and there were little frogs
with puffed out throats,
singing in the slime.
