Merwin

SUNSET AFTER RAIN

W.S. Merwin


Old cloud passes mourning her daughter can’t hear what anyone tells her every minute is one of the doors that never opened. Little cold stream wherever I go you touch the heart night follows. The darkness is cold because the stars do not believe in each other.
