Call You Grass

Call you grass call you wind-bent slender grass say you are full of grace and grown by the river Say what country say what river say what colour Tell where is the clock in the rose's face tell where are the speared hands bending the fences over Call you loving in whatever room in orchards on seas knowing not whom you leave whom you pass who reaches after Call you falling before a strange ark beads and wedding band asunder knowing not who watches and grieves behind his glory wings Claim you now for blood for kingdom for love Tell the collapsed belly of Mary tell the limbs hanging so sadly over Claim you Claim you in my father's name Call you grass
