A Visitor in Marl
A Visitor in Marl
Who influences Flowers
Till they are orderly as Busts
And Elegant as Glass
Who visits in the Night
And just before the Sun
Concludes his glistening interview
Caresses and is gone
But whom his fingers touched
And where his feet have run
And whatsoever Mouth be kissed
Is as it had not been
