Question: Poepleee who are good at poetry! (10 PTS)!?
pleaseee summarize in normal language what this poem means thnx

In love they wore themselves in a green embrace!.
A silken rain fell through the spring upon them!.
In the park she fed the swans and he
whittled nervously with his strange hands!.
And white was mixed with all their colours
as if they drew it from the flowering trees!.

At night his two finger whistle brought her down
the waterfall stairs to his shy smile
which like an eddy, turned her round and round
lazily and slowly so her will
was nowhere—as in dreams things are and aren't!.

Walking along avenues in the dark
street lamps sang like sopranos in their heads
with a voilence they never understood
and all their movements when they were together
had no conclusion!.

Only leaning into the question had they motion;
after they parted were savage and swift as gulls!.
asking and asking the hostile emptiness
they were as sharp as partly sculptured stone
and all who watched, forgetting, were amazed
to see them form and fade before theirWww@QuestionHome@Com

it's about two people being very in love in the begining but then, because of whatever reason they break up and become very mean to each other, something that seems almost imposible to the people around them who knew them because they also knew the great love that once united themWww@QuestionHome@Com

Just to help clarify a little, what the person asking the question didn't say is this is the poem "Adolescence" by Canadian poet Patricia Kathleen (P!. K!.) Page!. It was, I believe, first published in "Cry Ararat!" in 1967!. Maybe that will help with understanding the social and cultural context of the poem!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
