Can you comprehend a cup ...
Garry Gillard
Can you comprehend a cup
a blue cup with flowers
in another kitchen with another kind of love
in another time?
Those dim mountains half seen through the watercolour mist
the soul's attempt to reach the ecstasy of sky
Into this cup I dip dim memory
and suddenly the cord takes hold
pulls tight and I tip
back over down the shaft of time
to the dark then
Those dim mountains half seen through the watercolour mist
the soul's attempt to reach the ecstasy of sky
[1974]
