William LouisDreyfus Poems

1.

There is a tick, I'm told,
small as a seed, its back
hard as a turtle's shell,
blind, they say, and lives
...

God must mean for us to reason
that the flower first in bloom,
taut and shining, is not altered
even in its dying season.
...

How wise it was for whoever invented speech
to make no string of words able to reveal
the truth that hides in each of us for each.
Look how ably my explanations conceal
...

Just as death comes,
the truth gets said.
It is the anteroom
to all eternity.

The Best Poem Of William LouisDreyfus

Love

There is a tick, I'm told,
small as a seed, its back
hard as a turtle's shell,
blind, they say, and lives
for years immobile
on the tip of a twig, until
sensing, they don't know how,
it makes an arc in the air
leaping a distance farther
than the moon may be for us
to land by the side of its mate.
It does this once, they say.
