then
cool and misty overnight
black now white/sometime/a helicopter overhead
look here
as zebra flicker. shadow becoming light. Accept
cobble stone path edged with red brick
hosta. the garden. deep dew.
speak these words:
in the winter air/the roots of trees
the smell of the skin/like a little place
ripping up things/so little stars
the railway station
the girls red hair/the twigs in the wood.
I have nothing more to say.
