| I'll go out and sit in white like they do | B |
| Doing nothing July's juice rounds their nubs | A |
| - | |
| This park is fleshed with idiot petals | A |
| White catalpa flowers tower topple | C |
| Cast a round white shadow in their dying | D |
| - | |
| A pigeon rudders down It's fantail's white | E |
| Vocation enough opening shutting | D |
| White petals white fantails ten white fingers | A |
| - | |
| Enough for fingernails to make half moons | A |
| Redden in white palms no labor reddens | A |
| White bruises toward color else collapses | A |
| - | |
| Berries redden A body of whiteness | A |
| Rots and smells of rot under its headstone | F |
| Though the body walk out in clean linen | G |
| - | |
| I smell that whiteness here beneath the stones | A |
| Where small ants roll their eggs where grubs fatten | G |
| Death may whiten in sun or out of it | H |
| - | |
| Death whitens in the egg and out of it | H |
| I can see no color for this whiteness | A |
| White it is a complexion of the mind | I |
| - | |
| I tire imagining white Niagaras | A |
| Build up from a rock root as fountains build | J |
| Against the weighty image of their fall | K |
| - | |
| Lucina bony mother laboring | D |
| Among the socketed white stars your face | A |
| Of candor pares white flesh to the white bone | F |
| - | |
| Who drag our ancient father at the heel | L |
| White bearded weary The berries purple | C |
| And bleed The white stomach may ripen yet | M |
