Robert Lax, [never a root], 

from new poems, 1962

 

 

 

My work is      a meditation      on the wonder of      one thing      related to      another

 

window to room

hill to wall

floor to table

chair to chair

 

cup to leaf 

close to far

hard to soft

yellow to gray

gray to black 

 

 

 

I remember my childhood, I fell asleep in the black night

I awoke and became a father.     I watch and see noon and the hours passing, dimming, resting.

I anticipate the bright day
