Oliver ......... Biography

Hail, rain, sweet rain, sleet and
Winds eastward, southward and,
Northward! see, gale-blown fig
Tree-dance! stay chair-fast, mick
...

An absence yours, disturbingly
Entwines me; the crowned being
Of season, you're away, now beyond
The centre and shaft of the self!
...

Just as right kisses
On the wrong lips or otherwise,
Sometimes a right word
I choose for wrong thought
...

It seems some one's behind
Them like transfigured fore-father,
Drawing darkness, when school-kids
Are back home and boon of sun
...

My endeared heart
Vows in absence now,
Remembering pulse and flesh
And the heart eternal within,
...
