“Gold light in blind love does not distinguish
one surface from another, the savor
is the same to its tongue, the fluted
cylinder of a new ashcan a dazzling silver,
the smooth flesh of screaming children a quietness, it is all
a jubilance....”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

a pot of dates
in a blind mans hand,

and theyre jealous of me!
The cobras hood
has come out of its tail.”
