“Tenderly”

~ Sarah Vaughan

“somewhere I have never traveled gladly beyond/ any experience, your eyes have their silence:/ in your most fraile gesture are things which enclose me,/ or which I cannot touch because they are too near./ your slightest look easily will enclose me/ though I have closed myself as fingers,/ you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens/ (touching skillfully, mysteriously) her first rose…/ nothing which we are to perceive in this world equals/ the power of your intense fragility: whose texture/ compels me with the colour of its countries,/ rendering death and forever with each breathing/ (I do not know what it is about you that closes/ and opens; only something in me understands/ the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)/ nobody, not even the rain, has such small hands.”
