from Willowware Cup
Plum in bloom, pagoda, blue birds, plume of willow –
Almost the replica of a prewar pattern –
The same boat bearing the gnat-sized lovers away,
The old bridge now bent double where her father signals
Feebly, as from flypaper, minding less and less,
Two smaller retainers with lanterns light him home.
Is that a scroll he carries? He must by now be immensely
Wise, and have given up earthly attachments, and all that.
Soon, of these May mornings, rising in mist, he will ask
Only to blend – like ink in flesh, blue anchor
Needled upon drunkenness while its destroyer
Full steam departs, the stigma throbbing, intricate –
Only to blend into a crazing texture.
– James Merrill (1972)
