LIGHT HOTEL

The little girl riding the fallen tree like a spindly horse,

Like a queen mounted on a green spider;

The little girl’s white flesh is so sacred, so queenly,

I love and fear it so much

Carefully I think only of her dress,

Her foliate dress that falls in dry green pleats,

Or think as I look away from her sunlit face

How the sunlight holds a great conference in a sandgrain

With its plate-glass terraces and vista-windows of gold-tinge,

Then how the moon will hold her conference in the same sealed chamber.

In between times the non-staff have no clearing to do, no ashes to empty,

No glasses to polish, the light simply passes, great guest,

The light simply passes from the hotel, it is left untouched,

And above the million sandgrains, the one girl swishing her wide green horse.
