William Carlos Williams

On Gay Wallpaper

The green-blue ground
is ruled with silver lines
to say the sun is shining
 
And on this moral sea
of grass or dreams lie flowers
or baskets of desires
 
Heaven knows what they are
between cerulean shapes
laid regularly round
 
Mat roses and tridentate
leaves of gold
threes, threes and threes
 
Three roses and three stems
the basket floating
standing in the horns of blue
 
Repeating to the ceiling
to the windows
where the day
 
Blows in
the scalloped curtains to
the sound of rain
