The sun, calmed by the souls that Life feeds
pours burning and sweetest night’s air
to Listen is as water flowing over the surface
of smooth river rocks — How & now melancholy
are the naked shingles of Earth very full-
blooded;  to hunger for the antique youth
of someone else we once dismayed — the immense
pullulation of all embryos!
  In  the bellicose weakened birthing morning
of yellow sun’s Light are physical masterpieces,
the violent gums and silver-hammering beating
flowing heart’s blood!  As my heart began to beat!

    I followed a swallow into the open fields;
my feet as crystal columns broken by themselves
upon my thin neck!
