...tly blows? Don’t be upset;
You, Bokardo, are not yet 
Consumed or mourned. 

There’ll be falling into view 
Much to rearrange; 
And there’ll be a time for you
To marvel at the change. 
They that have the least to fear 
Question hardest what is here; 
When long-hidden skies are clear, 
The stars look strange....Read more of this...

A Lava step at any time
Am I inclined to climb—
A Crater I may contemplate
Vesuvius at home.

Rearrange a "Wife's" affection!
When they dislocate my Brain!
Amputate my freckled Bosom!
Make me bearded like a man!

Blush, my spirit, in thy Fastness—

exhaling her wide lung like an enormous fish. 

Closer and closer 
comes the hour of my death 
as I rearrange my face, grow back, 
grow undeveloped and straight-haired. 
All this is death. 
In the mind there is a thin alley called death 
and I move through it as

My body is useless. 
It lies, curled like a dog on the carpet.

...leaving the few crisp blooms to swagger, winglets, limpid
