Poems - 2. Hurt has told him not to listen,
Hurt has told him not to listen,
And he has not listened—
Some kite’s frayed tail of words
Has followed him these years
Like a letter unopened,
Like a wound he does not believe
Is festering.
Hurt now tells him to listen,
But he will not listen.
Blackness is tangled in his mind, or his mind
Has become the shadow of a bowl
Collecting fragments of forms,
And each so lonely
He would hold up his hands for them
Because he knows he will cry if he listens;
He knows he will cry.
Hurt now has left him,
But he is not happier.
Poor man! He was not shown the spot
That hurt had found—
A still place where unhappiness could gather
And mirror the stars in a distant sky.
