wet

in violet chasm the swift flies

pencilled in silver above

the mulberry trees

ocean in a waltz dolphins

columbines overhang us now

 

how can i say them

all the introductions

stephen the bearded iconophile

michael gleaming in brick

or rhonda on the beach

all fumbling smiles

shattering the air with their bodies

 

a little brain flight

and a migration of angels

 

there was a wild rush for telephones

the new sensation is

sold over against devereux court

between the temple bar

and st clements church in the strand

 

h moll his new atlas

or set of twentyseven two sheet maps bound or single

all colourd according to his direction

lewis strides in the white rain

 

penitential the eight breaks on the river

gleaming th rowers pitch blackbird to the bank

in distant cascades each mind

walks a waterfall boulder strings autumn leaves

and all the tragic miscellany of summer

blown eggs sheeps teeth and decay

of fenceposts washed away mauls in the evening

piled cumulus with the wind shines

all the world is wet
