Porcelain

a darker garden this though pale with beauty in the louring of the rain how I long to break the silence where the moths & tigers play driving through the forest in the empty afternoon a Japanese car stalled inside a glade but the world is porcelain yes, the world is porcelain & the quiet nights with the friend who could not stay left the future all sundazed Alice Jude & Laura singing all our friends have come to stay they are laughing in the sunlight where the criss-cross fountains play sunlight on the empty house & sunlight on the fields the cul-de-sac, the lawn, the tracks, the lane but the world is porcelain yes, the world is porcelain still the evening will not come here & the stones are cracked & warm & the pool is filled with sunlight still the evening will not come
