Once a highway in the skies;
Home is where the heart...

toward Utah and Italy.
My left nut hurts.

I’d hoped some salamanders
Would be crawling on the road,
For a downpour in the country
Makes them exit their abode.
But I haven’t seen them lately
And I looked...

Thou beast-fruit
Thou art mine!
O moving morsel
Dangling sun-blessed on a tree
Perching there so sweetly
How I love thee!
Climbing high, the picker’s hand
Snatches forth...
