The train! The twelve o'clock for paradise.
Hurry, or it will try to creep away.

And walk about, and breathe, and speak, and love,

Asking for that expected walk,
(Your nostrils full of the happy rabbit-whiff)
And almost talk.

Calls 'Lift!' and the arms, remembering well their work,
Lengthen and pause for help.

The form is patterned in my head.

Fit for perpetual worship is the power
That holds our bodies safely to the earth.
