II

I am much too tired now to do anything

But look at the molding along the top of the wall.

Those orchid shadows and pearl highlights bring

My childhood back so oddly. They recall

Two weeks of scarlet fever, when I lay

Gazing at grooves and bevels, oyster whites

Clouding to ringdove feathers, gathering lights

Like snow on railings towards the middle of day.

Just to lie there and watch, astonished when

That subtle show gave way to electric light,

That’s what I think of, lying here tonight.

Tonight the interrogations begin again.
