from "is 5": Four: VIII... e.e. cummings...
Some ask praise of their fellows
but i being otherwise
made compose curves
and yellows, angles or silences
to a less erring end)
myself is Sculptor of
your body's idiom:
the musician of your wrists;
the poet who is afraid
only to mistranslate
a rhythm in your hair,
(your fingertips
the way you move)
                          the
painter of your voice-
beyond these elements
remarkably nothing is.... therefore, lady
am i content should any
by me carven thing provoke
your gesture possibly or
any painting(for its own
reason)in your lips
slenderly should create one least smile
(shyly
if a poem should lift to
me the distinct country of your
eyes, gifted with green twilight)
