Voyages V - Poem by Harold Hart Crane

Meticulous, past midnight in clear rime, 

Infrangible and lonely, smooth as though cast 

Together in one merciless white blade- 

The bay estuaries fleck the hard sky limits. 

-As if too brittle or too clear to touch! 

The cables of our sleep so swiftly filed, 

Already hang, shred ends from remembered stars. 

One frozen trackless smile . . . What words 

Can strangle this deaf moonlight? For we 

Are overtaken. Now no cry, no sword 

Can fasten or deflect this tidal wedge, 

Slow tyranny of moonlight, moonlight loved 

And changed . 'There's 

Nothing like this in the world,' you say, 

is Knowing I cannot touch your hand and look 

Too, into that godless cleft of sky 

Where nothing turns but dead sands flashing. 

'-And never to quite understand!' No, 

In all the argosy of your bright hair I dreamed 

Nothing so flagless as this piracy. 

But now 

Draw in your head, alone and too tall here. 

Your eyes already in the slant of drifting foam; 

Your breath sealed by the ghosts I do not know: 

Draw in your head and sleep the long way home. 

As always, thanx for stopping by :)

peace,
