somewhere i have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience,your eyes have
their silence:
in your most frail gesture are things which enclose me,
or
which i cannot touch because they are too near
your slightest look will
easily unclose me
though i have closed myself as fingers,
you open always
petal by petal myself as Spring opens
(touching skilfully,mysteriously)her
first rose
or if your wish be to close me, i and
my life will shut
very beautifully ,suddenly,
as when the heart of this flower imagines
the
snow carefully everywhere descending;
nothing which we are to perceive in
this world equals
the power of your intense fragility:whose
texture
compels me with the color of its countries,
rendering death and
forever with each breathing
(i do not know what it is about you that
closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes
is deeper than all roses)
nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands
(E.E. Cummings)
