CANTO 65
Something small, the size of a star. Did you make a wish? Far away, far, far away. Hard, hard like a star. A miss, a mysterious maid made of mist. A face that enters my dreams & a kiss I miss when awake. Look up, both ways, & down. Splendor balanced quietly-her voice, a carriage of song. Love sighs, never, forever. The world is small, the heart, huge. Love sighs, never, forever. Pisces quivers on the horizon. Venus exalted, her dream is deep. She fairly bristles with romance. She walks to work on the stars, a goddess in her constellation. Believe me, the stars are really there. The stars, music, joy in all weather, & those few moments we made real. Under your heart, I long to suffer. Look up, both ways, & down. Morning warmth, wet mist weighing on me. So it is- my love is earthy. She walks to work on the stars. Love's location hidden w/ in the tiniest of spaces.
