| They're out of the dark's ragbag these two | B |
| Moles dead in the pebbled rut | C |
| Shapeless as flung gloves a few feet apart | D |
| Blue suede a dog or fox has chewed | E |
| One by himself seemed pitiable enough | F |
| Little victim unearthed by some large creature | G |
| From his orbit under the elm root | H |
| The second carcass makes a duel of the affair | I |
| Blind twins bitten by bad nature | G |

| The sky's far dome is sane a clear | J |
| Leaves undoing their yellow caves | K |
| Between the road and the lake water | G |
| Bare no sinister spaces Already | L |
| The moles look neutral as the stones | M |
| Their corkscrew noses their white hands | N |

| Nightly the battle snouts start up | R |
| In the ear of the veteran and again | S |

| After the fat children of root and rock | W |
| By day only the topsoil heaves | O |
| Down there one is alone | X |

| Delving for the appendages | O |
| Of beetles sweetbreads shards to be eaten | Z |
| Over and over And still the heaven | Z |
| Of final surfeit is just as far | A2 |
| From the door as ever What happens between us | O |
| Happens in darkness vanishes | O |
| Easy and often as each breath | B2 |
