Souvenir - ZaunköniG - 10.06.2007

Souvenir

A vanished house that for an hour I knew
By some forgotten chance when I was young
Had once a glimmering window overhung
With honeysuckle wet with evening dew

Along the Path tall dusky dahlias grew,
And shadowy hydrangeas reached and swung
Ferociously; and over me, among
The moths and mysteries, a blurred bat flew.

Somewhere within there were dim presences
Of days that hovered and of years gone by.
I waited, and between there silences

There was an evanescent faded noise;
And though a child, I knew it was the voice
Of one whose occupation was to die
