I	A
	-
In that November off Tehuantepec	B
The slopping of the sea grew still one night	C
And in the morning summer hued the deck	B
	-
And made one think of rosy chocolate	D
And gilt umbrellas Paradisal green	E
Gave suavity to the perplexed machine	E
	-
Of ocean which like limpid water lay	F
Who then in that ambrosial latitude	G
Out of the light evolved the morning blooms	H
	-
Who then evolved the sea blooms from the clouds	I
Diffusing balm in that Pacific calm	J
C' eacute tait mon enfant mon bijou mon acirc me	K
	-
The sea clouds whitened far below the calm	J
And moved as blooms move in the swimming green	E
And in its watery radiance while the hue	L
	-
Of heaven in an antique reflection rolled	M
Round those flotillas And sometimes the sea	K
Poured brilliant iris on the glistening blue	L
	-
II	A
	-
In that November off Tehuantepec	B
The slopping of the sea grew still one night	C
At breakfast jelly yellow streaked the deck	B
	-
And made one think of chop house chocolate	D
And sham umbrellas And a sham like green	E
Capped summer seeming on the tense machine	E
	-
Of ocean which in sinister flatness lay	F
Who then beheld the rising of the clouds	I
That strode submerged in that malevolent sheen	E
	-
Who saw the mortal massives of the blooms	H
Of water moving on the water floor	N
C' eacute tait mon fr egrave re du ciel ma vie mon or	N
	-
The gongs rang loudly as the windy booms	H
Hoo hooed it in the darkened ocean blooms	H
The gongs grew still And then blue heaven spread	O
	-
Its crystalline pendentives on the sea	K
And the macabre of the water glooms	K
In an enormous undulation fled	O
	-
III	A
	-
In that November off Tehuantepec	B
The slopping of the sea grew still one night	C
And a pale silver patterned on the deck	B
	-
And made one think of porcelain chocolate	D
And pied umbrellas An uncertain green	E
Piano polished held the tranced machine	E
	-
Of ocean as a prelude holds and holds	K
Who seeing silver petals of white blooms	K
Unfolding in the water feeling sure	P
	-
Of the milk within the saltiest spurge heard then	Q
The sea unfolding in the sunken clouds	K
Oh C' eacute tait mon extase et mon amour	P
	-
So deeply sunken were they that the shrouds	K
The shrouding shadows made the petals black	B
Until the rolling heaven made them blue	L
	-
A blue beyond the rainy hyacinth	R
And smiting the crevasses of the leaves	K
Deluged the ocean with a sapphire blue	L
	-
IV	S
	-
In that November off Tehuantepec	B
The night long slopping of the sea grew still	T
A mallow morning dozed upon the deck	B
	-
And made one think of musky chocolate	D
And frail umbrellas A too fluent green	E
Suggested malice in the dry machine	E
	-
Of ocean pondering dank stratagem	U
Who then beheld the figures of the clouds	K
Like blooms secluded in the thick marine	E
	-
Like blooms Like damasks that were shaken off	S
From the loosed girdles in the spangling must	V
C' eacute tait ma foi la nonchalance divine	W
	-
The nakedness would rise and suddenly turn	X
Salt masks of beard and mouths of bellowing	B
Would But more suddenly the heaven rolled	M
	-
Its bluest sea clouds in the thinking green	E
And the nakedness became the broadest blooms	K
Mile mallows that a mallow sun cajoled	M
	-
V	S
	-
In that November off Tehuantepec	B
Night stilled the slopping of the sea	S
The day came bowing and voluble upon the deck	B
	-
Good clown One thought of Chinese chocolate	D
And large umbrellas And a motley green	E
Followed the drift of the obese machine	E
	-
Of ocean perfected in indolence	S
What pistache one ingenious and droll	Y
Beheld the sovereign clouds as jugglery	P
	-
And the sea as turquoise turbaned Sambo neat	Z
At tossing saucers cloudy conjuring sea	S
C' eacute tait mon esprit b acirc tard l'ignominie	E
	-
The sovereign clouds came clustering The conch	A2
Of loyal conjuration trumped The wind	B2
Of green blooms turning crisped the motley hue	L
	-
To clearing opalescence Then the sea	S
And heaven rolled as one and from the two	L
Came fresh transfigurings of freshest blue	L
