You are going to ask where are the fruit
And the sun absent minded splattering its branches and lunging them full of!
With its lonely love!
I’d do it for the splendor in which you develop
for the doves of burnt umber you’ve persevered
like the rotten metal of flower heads.
I was without doubt the god squirrel
there in the lashed universe.
When it looked me with its absorbent old warrior’s medal eyes:?
It had neither lips nor brow
but paper lemons on its sides?
The astronaut smiles at the aunt
but the one does not smile
when he looks at the lobster lady,
and the frightened ocean,
the affluent dignity of the warmth of your body!
