back to W. S. Merwin

“Mountain Town” by W. S. Merwin 🇺🇸 (30 Sep 1927 – 15 Mar 2019)
My memory the invisible buffalo
Lumbers through the vacant street
Considering the fences their
​
Sorrows
​
And the lightning died in its
Mine ob it must be
Some time back its name
Is written everywhere in faded
Dust
​
One of its
Gloves wheels on the sky over
The blind movie
And the station where the white train still
Attends
​
A bell that I hung onto as long as I could
Is about to arrive and start ringing
