From out the tomb like a cloud

      Above this town where I lay sleeping
      young happily birds convulse minutely
      one tremendously blown hilarious
      green leaf of wind (in ochres of eve
5     it is dying) come suddenly finally up
      from compactly hysterical graves.  Bliss
      fully mindless is of these faces
      on the pickets these sweatless heads
      in dole attire; these pink purple blades
10    who are flying who are the dentings
      my footfalls have said along the edges
      of day and crisply space and down down
      dwindling once wells of when remit (for
      it is summer and pregnantly snowingly dusk)
