The Symbolist and the Postman

How fitful were the correspondences
That answered the uneven senses
Of the synesthetic poets?
A sigh invoked what lavender,
What gong struck yellow velvet
What stars flashed at the strings whirr?

The postman hesitates
Coy as a Muse by the laurel's gate:
His correspondence is as wayward
As the colors of the vowels.
Will my senses outwit your word
Or your live claim the answer of its equal?

During the Night

Runes trespass on my garbled sleep:
A nun who committed suicide by jumping
From the roof would listen in such a chaos
of crumpled, mauled linen as I do.

Smoke signals of Sodom and Gomorrah
Char the eyelids of the sky:
Swimming underwater brings relief
Until we plunge in crumpled waterfalls

So now I am awake, alone in bed.
Soon in the Summer we can lie
On towels crumpled as a nun's linen,
Forgetful of those nights - misers of sleep.
