I—I am not dead.

I hear their voices as from a great distance—Not dead

He’s not dead, poor chap; he didn’t die—

II

LAXLY reclining, he watches the firelight going

Across the ceiling, down the farther wall

In cumulate waves, a golden river flowing

Above them both, down yawning dark to fall

Like music dying down a monstrous brain.

Laxly reclining, he sees her sitting there

With firelight like a hand laid on her hair,

With firelight like a hand upon the keys

Playing a music of lustrous silent gold.

Bathed in gold she sits, upon her knees

Her silent hands, palm upward, lie at ease,

Filling with gold at each flame’s spurting rise,

Spilling gold as each flame sinks and sighs,

Watching her plastic shadow on the wall

In unison with the firelight lift and fall

To the music by the firelight played

Upon the keys from which her hands had strayed

And fallen.
