Your heart is not a museum of roses, <br> your love not a misdirected airdropp over a refugee camp. <br>Friend of these sidereal affinities we spread like table-cloths across space, <br> friend of these lonely silos in my eyes and this blood that breaks like bread, <br> still, you are the flower in the vase, impassioned, an urgent poppy. <br>All the blind librarians of the morning star agree<br> you are not who you say you are <br> when you show the shadows of authority your passport rainbow. <br>Sometimes the tongue of a forsaken seer dances like a drunk at a funeral<br> down the liberated allies of a sleeping ghetto <br> while the moon watches like a cat on a windowsill <br>high overhead. Shy bird feathered by your sudden flaring, your heart, <br> young and quick, darts easily from branch to branch <br> barely a presence behind the green jubilation <br>of a million silver leaves trembling with rain on the reborn tree. <br> Before the bird sings, we hear it. Before the star shines, <br> the night is fully enlightened. And home is always a bridge<br>where we wait to be rescued from hurling ourselves off <br> into our own desperate reflections. Let the fall save you. <br> You are the priestess in the shrine of mysterious apples, <br>sybil and empress of opulent oranges. No matter how many alphabets<br> enshroud the fairies in the legendary brilliance of ancient skies<br> and over the telephone cancel the sacred islands in their eyes, <br>your blood will bind them to this vital afterlife of now like fish <br> swimming through the flawed water palace <br> of a drowned engine. You can bet your lies on it; <br>your sorrows are not the face-paint of weeping clowns, <br> nor your natural humanity a moat around a zoo for dwindling dragons. <br> When you sprawl like a wave of wine across the living room floor, <br>unspooling the honey and gold of your body's flower-mine, <br> I see orchards in your guitar, wheat fire, <br> the landscape of a small, borderless country<br>trying to decide which of all its trees should form a government. <br> Compassionate zero, water your only foundation stone, <br> you string a harp between your fangs<br>between the unblooded crescents of the moon <br> and sink your music deep into the heart of your astounded prey.<br> Little killer, don't you know, little killer, <br>let me tell you, <br> the saints are crueler than the sinners, the virgins<br> cheaper than the whores, and reason in its nest of crows<br>a bird that never soars. Through dangerous doorways, under<br> lethal skies, the ghost dance of the blind tiger, the white faun<br> while the widows of light pawn their eyeless rings<br>in the brutal crucibles of dawn. You want some advice? <br> Only the great fools who plead for nothing<br> know all the words to the song.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Patrick+White">Patrick White</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=476543" data-title="Don't Cover Your Eyes de Patrick White" data-description="Don't cover your eyes when the stars begin to fall; don't orphan your fire in a well.
