Confusion by Kenneth RexrothI pass your home in a slow vermilion dawn,The blinds are drawn, and the windows are open.The soft breeze from the lakeIs like your breath upon my cheek.All day long I walk in the intermittent rainfall.I pick a vermilion tulip in the deserted park,Bright raindrops cling to its petals.At five o'clock it is a lonely color in the city.I pass your home in a rainy evening,I can see you faintly, moving between lighted walls.
Late at night I sit before a white sheet of paper,
Until a fallen vermilion petal quivers before me.Slide4
