Option 4
by Edward Alan Bartholomew
Single hair left in my bed Remind me how the rain is shed; When in old age, do cloudy tufts Surrender from the skyey head? "No, no; the drops like rice are stuck Upright into the paddies' muck And being pulled from one hillbrow Are in another gardenbed tucked." I disagree; when clouds are blown, They hold their weight as seeds unsown. It's when we let them lie with us, The clouds, the locks of love are grown. |
