LXVIII

 Suddenly the window of my heart flew open this morning, the window that looks out on your heart.

 

I wondered to see that the name by which you know me is written in April leaves and flowers, and I sat silent¹.

 

The curtain was blown away for a moment between my songs and yours.

 

I found that your morning light was full of my own mute² songs unsung; I thought that I would learn them at your feet—and I sat silent.
