Analysis of Delicate
Do the daisies dance
until their dew drifts
away from the agony
of a dark hallow dawn?
Can canvas white clouds
turn their drifting
covers over and disapear
from that delicate light?
I know how the moon's
heart is breaking,
and how the sea's soul
is quaking--
all for the
delicate sun.
