Repetitions

REPETITIONS
They are crying salt tears
Over the beautiful beloved body
Of Inez Milholland,
Because they are glad she lived,
Because she loved open-armed,
Throwing love for a cheap thing
Belonging to everybody-
Cheap like sunlight,
And morning air.
THROW ROSES
Throw roses on the sea where the dead went down.
The roses speak to the sea,
And the sea to the dead.
