He doesn’t mean to, he can’t help it
His mind so well-trained to catch
The wrongdoers, those enflamed sprites

And self dissolves
Into my breath

The infant . . .

cloth and bone and hair
revolving gracefully
the wind
Hopes written
in the twisted flags
pressed longings
hands together
thumbs inside
Earth sky and hidden ones

trees swaying back and forth
like sentinels upon our minds
their greenness dripping down
O’ may our blood
