the phantom cento




i know what the caged bird

feels about you and me who invade

woods; these are, i think i know

dear to him moving towards the river



some evenings i roamed the moor

beyond the bounds of snowy mountains

while you sat under the tree in autumn

moving stone to bronze and to steel



munching a plum or pulling out your thumb

watching phantoms in the changing crowd

while my hair cut straight across my forehead

that all people in Greece disliked and hated!
