| 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 |

| 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 |

| By night an I And The Village Chagall painting | B2 |

| and gate way to the stars | Z |
| - | |
| Barns with ricks contain pitchforks | Z |
| like a mis shapen mask protruding ever | O |

| 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 |

| then very nearly | P2 |
| a shout and stone's throw away | Q2 |
