and light coming through it
You folded your arms and turned your head,
And all the gleams of winter ran backward,
And all the snow went dim. Because
When the dark of the moon, its own color,
Lifted, like a faint scar on the sky, or
Like tarnish on old silver, you said that love
Was nothing, that we were nothing, that
The frame of the door-window lied
About the world outside (what outside?)
Apple blossom and thick-clotted grass
Was a lie. It was just the glass of the window
And light coming through it.
