The Greening of You
by Mark Barrett

When the rocks become stars
and your eyes are the sky,
would that I could replace them
to sleep where you lie.
The pennies are greened,
and the shadows have stained
but I would spend all that's mine
to take the place you have gained.
When our best season finally arrives,
all of the memories are dimly lit to grim;
still I will embalm you with morphine
and the valor of boyhood endeavors again
.
Three times have gone, the fourth one just come;
and at last I can say the greening of you is done.
