From February
Another side to this a slump in the wood a fact coming out it there are windows we enter there are sounds in the dark Rosemary dead Naomi at the clinic Leah in hospice in bed and debt Throwing books to the thresher a poet read So less than our nakedness A coda A garland of chang ing names A current gives as much as it has given you who, I swear, I saw gone round the tidepools yesterday at noon But the world is gone But the world is a lake the size of a lake
