in the high fog | B |
the house we live in | C |
beneath the magnetic rock | D |
rain rainbow ridden | A |
where blood black | E |
bromelias lichens | F |
owls and the lint | G |
of the waterfalls cling | H |
familiar unbidden | A |
- | |
In a dim age | I |
of water | J |
the brook sings loud | K |
from a rib cage | I |
of giant fern vapor | J |
climbs up the thick growth | L |
effortlessly turns back | E |
holding them both | L |
house and rock | D |
in a private cloud | K |
- | |
At night on the roof | M |
blind drops crawl | N |
and the ordinary brown | A |
owl gives us proof | M |
he can count | O |
five times always five | P |
he stamps and takes off | Q |
after the fat frogs that | R |
shrilling for love | S |
clamber and mount | O |

House open house | T |
to the white dew | U |
and the milk white sunrise | V |
kind to the eyes | V |
to membership | W |
of silver fish mouse | T |
bookworms | T |
big moths with a wall | N |
for the mildew's | T |
ignorant map | X |
- | |
darkened and tarnished | Y |
by the warm touch | Z |
of the warm breath | A2 |
maculate cherished | Y |
rejoice For a later | J |
era will differ | J |
O difference that kills | T |
or intimidates much | Z |
of all our small shadowy | B2 |
life Without water | J |
- | |
the great rock will stare | C2 |
unmagnetized bare | C2 |
no longer wearing | H |
rainbows or rain | A |
the forgiving air | C2 |
and the high fog gone | A |
the owls will move on | A |
and the several | D2 |
waterfalls shrivel | D2 |
in the steady sun | A |
