I a Sinner Confess before God


Once the queen of perfect morning came to me
All shivery and shine she said I have lost so many
Blue flecks I’ve lost beauties from my eyes—O
Surely she said this before memory and far away
Like a spider’s thread or inexhaustible amazement
Dawn strictly danced to the beating of her heart
The sky was forbidden to praise thunder or to enjoy
Snow falling as it used to fall breathlessly beneath
Two old willows where once or twice I think
I kissed her and maybe then I heard a few winged
Voices briefly singa deliriously forgettable chorus
All of this to be sure in the nakedest of nakedness
The nudist nudity her blonde hair and those white
Shoes sculpting her as in cold marble and as sacred
