Goethe's Early Garden
   
~by Jim Carroll
If I worked in Goethe's early garden
I would polish the furnace first
For the hot flowers, then sculpt ice

                                                      For the cool

Flowers

If I worked in Goethe's garden
Then the ruins would fit and the errors come unmasked

The tiny vegetables would be psychic by night and grow
In bleached sand, ocean in hand

                                                Near by

No sun fits this lattitude
Accounts for my attitude
