Subject: Hard seeds of hate




Hard seeds of hate I planted
That should by now be grown
Rough stalks, and from thick stamens
A poisonous pollen blown
And odors rank

unbreathable

From dark corollas thrown

At dawn from my damp garden
I shook the chilly dew
The thin boughs locked behind me
That sprang to let me through
The blossoms slept
I sought a place
Where nothing pretty grew

And there, when day was breaking
I knelt and looked around
The light was near, the silence
Was palpitant with sound
I drew my hate from out my breast
And thrust it in the ground

Oh they're so fiercely tended
The little seeds of hate
I bent above your growing
Early and noon and late
Yet are they drooped and pitiful
I cannot rear them straight

The sun seeks out my garden
No nook is left in shade
No mist or mold or mildew
Endures on any blade
Sweet rain slants under every bough
They falter

and they fade
