the heart
the moon
the rivers
the soon
they shine a noon
your eyes can tune
then rest on dunes
and turn to stroon
the waves
the lune
the sea
the sand
they turn a smile
on poseidon's isle
to an honoury wine
to sip its sile
its richeness mild
is pleasures of mine

There is something Joycean about them as per this from Finnegan's Wake:
A way a lone a last a loved a long the / riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.
But let's not forget the echos of T S Eliot as well as shown b y this extract from The Wasteland :
“Trams and dusty trees.
Highbury bore me. Richmond and Kew
Undid me. By Richmond I raised my knees
Supine on the floor of a narrow canoe.“
“My feet are at Moorgate, and my heart
Under my feet. After the event
He wept. He promised ‘a new start.’
I made no comment. What should I resent?”
On Margate Sands.
I can connect
Nothing with nothing.
The broken finger-nails of dirty hands.
My people humble people who expect
Nothing.”

Wow Emill these are beautiful pieces indeed.
Finegan's Wake is lovely.
Interesting about TS Eliot. Deeply religious almost prophetic are his lines. It is a neat style.
I was also just discussing 'HE WEPT' in a different forum.
Thank you for posting this. Very much appreciated.

Ah yes, dear old T.S Eliot who, when he wasn't writing in Greek or Italian, was a dab hand in English as The Wasteland shows:
When Lil’s husband got demobbed, I said,
I didn’t mince my words, I said to her myself,
HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME
Now Albert’s coming back, make yourself a bit smart.
He’ll want to know what you done with that money he gave you
To get yourself some teeth. He did, I was there.
You have them all out, Lil, and get a nice set,
He said, I swear, I can’t bear to look at you.
And no more can’t I, I said, and think of poor Albert,
He’s been in the army four years, he wants a good time,
And if you don’t give it him, there’s others will, I said.
Oh is there, she said. Something o’ that, I said.
Then I’ll know who to thank, she said, and give me a straight look
