Dido to Aeneas
I love you
I have permitted myself to say choirs
(as if the late birds sang in branches) when for them
in the dusk at wind set
the garage eave yields its water cup.
Not for us the paling light
the white urn at the driveway,
nor for us the palmettos and the squeak
of tiles. The fountain at noonday cries,
"You are not here" and the sea at its distance
calls to a single path flanked by hibiscus,
the sea reminds itself each day
that it is solitary and the bather gambles
in its waves as a suicide who says "tomorrow is
another" an hour in the wrecker foam.
I love you
I am writing your name as if I were a Trojan
who expected someone else to smooth the shore
of souls who said
to the great reaches of wave and salt,
"I am replenishing as a light falling on a single tree"
and it is wonderful like ice on a floe,
I love you
miracle, mirror, word, all the same
you come, you go
I love you
(on my rioting lawns the plaster flamingoes
can even endure your wonder).
– Barbara Guest (1961)
