Leaving, as the moon releases Twig by twig the night-entangled trees,

Leaving, as the moon behind the winter leaves, Memory by me-mory the mind -

A poem should be motionless in time As the moon climbs

A poem should be equal to: Not true

For all the history of grief An empty doorway and a maple leaf

For love The leaning grasses and two lights above the sea -

A poem should not mean But be.
