Ronald Peat - * MELANCHOLY

Melancholy
(An offering to the flower girl)

She has an old violin without a bow
... sawdust in silence stings
The swished horse’s tail is unheard.
... “Nothing” is never the “No Thing.”

Breathing—
... Night’s crickets commence;
......her song announces endowments

What spheres revolve
... before engulfed inside
...... love’s tacit turning bud?
