Flowers
No knowledge rightly understood
can deprive us of the mirth of flowers.
--Edward Dahlberg
No thing less than one thing
or more--
no sun
but sun--
or water
but wetness found--
What truth is it
that makes men so miserable?
Days we die
are particular--
This life cannot be lived
apart from what it must forgive.
--Robert Creeley
fr. Pieces
[New York: Scribner's, 1969]
