The Dark Day

________________________________________________
Title:     The Dark Day
Author: William Carlos Williams [More Titles by Williams]

A three-day-long rain from the east--
an interminable talking, talking
of no consequence--patter, patter, patter.
Hand in hand little winds
blow the thin streams aslant.
Warm. Distance cut off. Seclusion.
A few passers-by, drawn in upon themselves,
hurry from one place to another.
Winds of the white poppy! there is no escape!--
An interminable talking, talking,
talking ... it has happened before.
Backward, backward, backward.

[The end]
William Carlos Williams's poem: Dark Day
