Disillusionment
rain glints on the copper beech
standard cirrus motionless above
that will do –
the poem has been here
or hereabouts
many times
and what does it do
with its words?
where does it take us to?
are these rain glints
the very ones I think I saw?
disillusionment can fall
at any hour
nine eleven or twelve
just as words do
in or out of poems
remorseless
their pitter-patter
