"Love. Leaf. Light." (for John Perlman)



"Tu non se’ in terra"
                          (Dante)


John says the vision narrowed to curtain slits,
                                                               in a city of the sun,
  made the sage and the rose scent one, &

poet who coincides with Leaf and Light  "telically" strung
  once wrote a sun- or plant- or sage-Love:--
                                                                    a Trilogy!

Appearing to John were even a room lone as a world & poet
                                                                on the Village streets,
  -- every situation never good with him --

  swept once into the heart, age-old and without quietude and
                                                                   a pilgrim's peace
