Poem

Ode To Rob

I wanted to write a poem
with such music and guitars, strumming.
I tried at the teeth of the sound
 to draw up legions of noise.
I tried at the breakwater
 to catch the star off each ship,
and at the closing of my hands
I looked for their homes;
I looked for their silences.
I found just one.

I look for uncomplicated hymns, now,
 but love has none.
