In an orange time
The heart thus: bliss. bliss.
Blue the transformed shadow
Of a sunflower's last grief
Traced on the curve of a majolica vase.
(Watch: table: set.
The mind unwinds itself: now, now.
Pools gold in a forenoon's still set place:
Paterned goblet, dish, patterned cloth, knife
Beneath sun's gaze, beneath heart-shaped leaf--
There is no place set for 'still'
There is no place set for 'yet.'
