WEDDING SONG
THIS is her room. The sunlight lies
In squares upon the floor.
Here are her books, the ivory god
She brought from Singapore.
Here she stood in shining white
Her hands were kind and cool,
Her eyes were very still that day,
Serene and beautiful.
Out in the sun the garden glowed
And I remember this:
The fragrance of the grapes, a shower
Of starry clematis.
