Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGAGHIJK LDMANOOOH PMQARNPSTNGUMD VWXNDYMZA2B2G| Radiant notes | A |
| piercing my narrow chested room | B |
| beating down through my ceiling | C |
| smeared with unshapen | D |
| belly prints of dreams | E |
| drifted out of old smokes | F |
| trillions of icily | G |
| peltering notes | A |
| out of just one canary | G |
| all grown to song | H |
| as a plant to its stalk | I |
| from too long craning at a sky light | J |
| and a square of second hand blue | K |
| - | |
| Silvery strident throat | L |
| so assiduously serenading my brain | D |
| flinching under | M |
| the glittering hail of your notes | A |
| were you not safe behind rats know what thickness of plastered wall | N |
| I might fathom | O |
| your golden delirium | O |
| with throttle of finger and thumb | O |
| shutting valve of bright song | H |

| But if away off on a fork of grassed earth | P |
| socketing an inlet reach of blue water | M |
| if canaries do they sing out of cages | Q |
| flung such luminous notes | A |
| they would sink in the spirit | R |
| lie germinal | N |
| housed in the soul as a seed in the earth | P |
| to break forth at spring with the crocuses into young smiles | S |
| on the mouth | T |
| Or glancing off buoyantly | N |
| radiate notes in one key | G |
| with the sparkle of rain drops | U |
| on the petal of a cactus flower | M |
| focusing the just out sun | D |
| - | |
| Cactus why cactus | V |
| God God | W |
| somewhere away off | X |
| cactus flowers star yellow | N |
| ray out of spiked green | D |
| and empties of sky | Y |
| roll you over and over | M |
| like a mother her baby in long grass | Z |
| And only the wind scandal mongers with gum trees | A2 |
| pricking multiple leaves | B2 |
| at his amazing story | G |
