wall of remote heights & bends of listless fields

turn savagely to the river where the trees

snap in the snow a bird watches the frozen mice

deer i am sick of talking about

vietnam these bridges: stringent iron

under which the prints of huge birds that flew off in september following

the riverchain to return as blackbirds

stunning the trees incredible demons voyages i am your mind frozen but the smallest

bloom may rouse

For Rachel

anger what good the flower is angrier than i am so is the blood that rights & jerks in the ground when i slice it with my rake my daughter following pulling crocus flowers off the flagstone where the sudden freeze left them
