I	A
	-
It is calm	B
It is as though	C
we lived in a garden	D
that had not yet arrived	E
at the knowledge of	F
good and evil	G
But there is a man in it	H
	-
II	A
	-
There will be	I
rain falling vertically	I
from an indifferent	J
sky There will stare out	K
from behind its	L
bars the face of the man	M
who is not enjoying it	H
	-
III	A
	-
Nothing higher	N
than a blackberry	I
bush As the sun comes up	O
fresh what is the darkness	P
stretching from horizon	D
to horizon It is the shadow	C
here of the forked man	M
	-
IV	F
	-
We have eaten	D
the blackberries and spat out	K
the seeds but they lie	A
glittering like the eyes of a man	M
	-
V	F
	-
After we have stopped	Q
singing the garden is disturbed	R
by echoes It is	S
the man whistling expecting	T
everything to come to him	U
	-
VI	A
	-
We wipe our beaks	S
on the branches	S
wasting the dawn's	S
jewellery to get rid	V
of the taste of a man	M
	-
VII	A
	-
Nevertheless	S
which is not the case	S
with a man our	N
bills give us no trouble	G
	-
VIII	A
	-
Who said the	W
number was unlucky	F
It was a man who	X
trying to pass us	S
had his licence endorsed	Y
thirteen times	S
	-
IX	S
	-
In the cool	Z
of the day the garden	D
seems given over	N
to blackbirds Yet	A2
we know also that somewhere	B2
there is a man in hiding	T
	-
X	S
	-
To us there are	C2
eggs and there are	C2
blackbirds But there is the man	M
too trying without feathers	S
to incubate a solution	D
	-
XI	S
	-
We spread our	N
wings reticulating	T
our air space A man stands	S
under us and worries	S
at his ability to do the same	D2
	-
XII	S
	-
When night comes	S
like a visitor	N
from outer space	S
we stop our ears	S
lest we should hear tell	E2
of the man in the moon	F2
	-
XIII	S
	-
Summer is	S
at an end The migrants	S
depart When they return	G2
in spring to the garden	D
will there be a man among them	H2
