Like some poor wounded wretch�long left for dead
Clear-voiced despite its years, strong, eloquent�
With a hand freed from weight,
References
From point to point of meaning�open? closed?�
At San Biagio, in the most intense room
II. Quest and Conquest
II. List of Franklin Search Parties
At the white place of the road's vanishing
Of a far barn, just where the road curves sharply
At the end of the road. Even if they are staring
giddy as good kids playing hookey. Now,
and the numbed yards will go back undercover.
Green lilac buds appear that won't survive
But when, on the timepieces that we call
shaded by live oaks and bottlebrush trees
Wheezing ravens, when
My soul lies cracked; and when, in its despair,
Between the high and the low, in this night.
