THE ECLIPSE

It takes a heart to hold

A hand offered in broken vow;

You shield, you temporized,

And as I scanned the moon

Of your face, I knew

The eclipse had started

In the solar plexus below.

But you would still

Pack ice and burn

The breast of night

With dark arctic dreams,

As though love were

A glacial house pitched

Between the poles

Of two hibernating streams.

I suppose though, you know

The sun never touched

The orchards of icicles

Nurtured on tears of now.
