The Last Decision

Of course there were

carys and prospects

in the direction

of coolness

on to the moored

sailing

where the bay

foreleads

suncts as I watched

the sun spread out

a yellow

and shimmering

stillness

carouselling

bright

and wider;

My own relation

of hope, watch -

I am the slender person

of a curve

as the pain goes

through a clear day.

• William Carlos Williams
