| - | |
| Is it the dandelion so ant encrusted that | B |
| yellow pollen dangles from a shiny abdomen | C |
| suggestive of some actor's | D |
| smeared and garish make up | E |
| - | |
| Or the cicada's song | F |
| difficult to describe | G |
| laundering thick summer heat | H |
| - | |
| Perhaps then the Red Admiral butterfly | I |
| especially active at the close of day and drawn | J |
| to wooden lawn furniture or the exposed human limb | K |
| - | |
| If none of these | L |
| breathes vigour or tonic | M |
| through my nostrils | N |
| what of tubs of fresh water | O |
| - | |
| Take pea pods for crude rudimentary boats | P |
| and children as make shift sailors | D |
| then they both shall spy the secrets of seas | L |
| Bold harbours will be their cues | Q |
| astrolabes their hatchets in which | R |
| to chart many a perilous adventure | O |
| - | |
| A volume of Tom Swift and his Motorboat | S |
| tames the haggard breast | T |
| soothes the savage beast | U |
| - | |
| A trip to the fruit cellar | O |
| beaded with moisture | O |
| and clammy with imaginary threat | V |
| chastens the cobweb from the | W |
| dusty ledge and sees a privet hedge | X |
| hawk moth trapped against the | W |
| window pane a dark spot pressed much like | Y |
| a pirate's patch against both time space | Z |
| - | |
| If meandering and nearing journey's end | A2 |
| think twice Better red than dead Brooding | B2 |
| MacIntosh apples stain a slippery floor but | C2 |
| the door to the orchard is always ajar | D2 |
| - | |
| By night an I And The Village Chagall painting | B2 |
| draws a lad and landscape to stare and stare | E2 |
| Thickets of wild grape strawberry tendrils | Z |
| two hares boxing in the meadow a Winterspoon | J |
| or Whip Poor Will towering above groves of walnut lilac | F2 |
| Night air is fragrant and lush through a peep hole | G2 |
| and gate way to the stars | Z |
| - | |
| Barns with ricks contain pitchforks | Z |
| like a mis shapen mask protruding ever | O |
| so faintly sinister in silhouette through | H2 |
| a visionary sky | I |
| - | |
| Remnants of ferret skin lie interrupted | I2 |
| upon entering the chicken coop | J2 |
| - | |
| The soldier drinks his tea and egg cup abandoned | K2 |
| - | |
| I don't have to go anywhere | E2 |
| Dark and moody there is an | J |
| arsenal of thought with stout | L2 |
| marshal batons in my knapsack | F2 |
| - | |
| The power to be led and lead | M2 |
| stiff memory in rum kegs and wine casks | Z |
| The brooding entrance | Z |
| to another world | N2 |
| if not in the palm of my hand | O2 |
| then very nearly | P2 |
| a shout and stone's throw away | Q2 |
