Softer than butter

And harder than steel—

That is what Baba

Always does feel.

A POEM ABOUT BABA

Who carves them

Purple-clustered

To a vine

And seals

Within the grapes

The taste

Of wine,

Can always teach

Anew

If old worlds die . . .

For HE

Remains

For Time

To pattern by,

And other

Men

Can lift

Exultant urns

To other

Fruits

Where future wisdom

Burns!
