When I am heard, and what I say is solely
Down the road, at Cypress Gardens, a woman
XIV. Franz Josef Land: The Amazing Drift of the Tegetthoff
Scrawny wolves, and you,
Brush the lone giant in that somber pall.
A frame of glided twilight-I
Looms in the air, deliberate and slow,
will be penciled on the coffeeshop menus.
The flakes which have stolen onto the flagstones
Rain. We are forced to fly,
Hoarfrost is in his bones and on his head,
Life, or only joy, that stands out
From there. Toward . . .
Are gliding toward me on the ice into
Summer bees were saying
Side of the painting, the world of that wise, white,
and the numbed yards will go back undercover.
I've drifted somewhat from the distant heart
More beautiful than anything in this world.
