Reflections On The Pool Poem by Jeffrey McCambridge

The night sinks below the horizon
To dance alone with the stars
(I wait for you, my love
with an empty heart)

The blue sky darkens, bringing in
The world of night and shame
(I wait for you, my love
with an empty heart)

I walk the sky paved with tulips
Plucked with these two lips
(I wait for you, my love
with an empty heart)

Blue hills reflect the sentiments
Of Dead ants, and forgotten comrades…
(I wait for you, my love
with an empty heart)
