You will be the color of water; Your voice will be like the wind; You will go where the dust goes; None will know you have sinned. None will know you are quiet, Or fluent, or bound, or free; None will care you are nothing; You will be nothing to me. Except a scarlet remembrance . . . As if, in a dream of pride, A poppy had flaunted her petals One day to the sun, and died. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND AIRS FOR A FLUTE by MARJORIE MEEKER |
