WEDDING SONG
THIS is her room. The sunlight liesIn squares upon the floor.Here are her books, the ivory godShe brought from Singapore.Here she stood in shining whiteHer hands were kind and cool,Her eyes were very still that day,Serene and beautiful.Out in the sun the garden glowedAnd I remember this:The fragrance of the grapes, a showerOf starry clematis.
