Fluxes of Ephemera [for Amy]

      Disconsolate in the deepening weather 
      Of a miserable December, 
      Cincinnatus made a house of song 
      Pinching out the solar imperative 
5     From other, more miraculous strains 
      That salted the winter air 
      And coated the simple ice on the porch. 
       
      Without aids in impossible weather, 
10    Cincinnatus made a house of song 
      And took up, in primitive measure, 
      A primitive abode.
