...Fanfare of northwest wind, a bluejay wind
announces autumn, and the equinox
rolls back blue bays to a far afternoon.

looking for friendship or an old love's sleeve
or writing letters to his children, lost,
and to his children's children, and to us.

What?
You define me God with these trinkets?
Can my misery meal on an ordered walking
Of surpliced numskulls?
And a fanfare of lights?

Show me some bastard mushroom
Sprung from a pollution of blood.

The plumed cavalcade has passed to tomorrow, is lost again;

The bee o'erhung a rich, unrifled bloom:
"O Earth, fair lordly Blossom, soft a-shine
Upon the star-pranked universal vine,
