Jordaan, Amsterdam
Palmgracht’s colonnade,
a heaven-reef the cloudshore
reaching out
to, distantly oncoming, an evening sea
whose mother-of-pearl
I tinged with my fiery glow now
I was welkin
and revelation, radiance was I where
trembling
summer verdure warped and wefted in water-
mirror-ripples,
the contrailing swallows high above flitted
through warm
breeze of earth’s breathing – now light
began to dwindle
into gloaming and I
perceived: this
waiting alone has been your presence.
