For Miriam
by Kenneth Patchen
Do I not deal with angels
When her lips I touch
So gentle, so warm and sweet -- falsity
Has no sight of her
O the world is a place of veils and roses
When she is there
I am come to her wonder
Like a boy finding a star in a haymow
And there is nothing cruel or mad or evil
Anywhere
