GOME in a week
Yes, yes, in the seven-day-week!
for how can I count in your
three times three
of
the sea-blown week of nine.
Come then, as I say, in a week,
when the planets have given
seven nods
“ It shall be! It shall be! “ assented seven
times
by the great
seven, by Helios the brightest
and by Artemis the whitest
by Hermes and Aphrodite,
flashing white glittering words,
by Ares and Kronos and Zeus,
the seven great ones, who must
all say yes.
When the moon from out of the darkness
has come like a thread, like a
door just opening
opening, till the round white doorway of delight
is half
open.
Come then!
Then, when the door is half open.
In a week!
The ancient river week, the old
one.
Come
then!
