Under Cover of Night

 To slip into your shadow under cover of night.
To follow your footsteps, your shadow at the window.
That shadow at the window is you and no one else; it's you.
Do not open that window behind whose curtains you're moving.
Shut your eyes.
I'd like to shut them with my lips.
But the window opens and the breeze, the breeze which strangely balances flame and flag surrounds my escape with its cloak.
The window opens: it's not you.
I knew it all along.

Grey Hairs

 These are ashes of treasures:
Of hurt and loss.
These are ashes in face of which Granite is dross.
Dove, naked and brilliant, It has no mate.
Solomon's ashes Over vanity that's great.
Time's menacing chalkmark, Not to be overthrown.
Means God knocks at the door -- Once the house has burned down! Not choked yet by refuse, Days' and dreams' conqueror.
Like a thunderbolt -- Spirit Of early grey hair.
It's not you who've betrayed me On the home front, years.
This grey is the triumph Of immortal powers.
