Water Gardens
Water looked up through the lawn
Like a half- buried mirror
Left out by the people before.
There were faces in there
We had seen in the hallways
Of octogenarian specialists.
Mortality- vendors consulted
On bronchial matters
In rot- smelling Boulevard mansions.
We stood on their lino
And breathed, and below us
The dark, peopled water
Was leaning and listening.
There on the steps of the cellar,
Black- clad Victorians
Were feeding the river with souls.
They left us their things,
Reefs of blue ware
In the elder- clumbs,
Tins full of rust in the shed,
And on the bookshelves
English poets, all gone damp
With good intentions, never read.
Thei miles of flooded graves
Were traffic jams of stone
Where patient amphibian angels
Rode them under, slowly
Their voices came back
From sinks and gratimgs,
The treasure seekers
Gone downstairs, while all the time
In King Death's rainy garden
We were playing out.
