Analysis of ETERNITY
The lemon tree gave off
A crisp and pungent smell.
The people in the orchard
Having played their games
Of chess or cards
Got up and went their ways.
Others drawing-----who knows-----
What regrets
From their cigarettes
Sat for a while
And departed, too.
A few young fellows
Quickly passed through
Going their various ways
To various goals.
But I was only watching
The dust on my shoes
And thinking-----for long.
The lemon tree
Was giving off
A crisp and pungent smell.
