SO MUCH DEPENDS
UPON
A RED WHEEL
BARROW
GLAZED WITH RAIN
WATER
BESIDE THE WHITE
CHICKENS
***
I HAVE EATEN
THE PLUMS
THAT WERE IN
THE ICEBOX
AND WHICH
YOU WERE PROBABLY
SAVING
FOR BREAKFAST
FORGIVE ME
THEY WERE DELICIOUS
SO SWEET
AND SO COLD
***
WHIRL UP, SEA
WHIRL YOUR POINTED PINES
SPLASH YOUR GREAT PINES
ON OUR ROCKS
HURL YOUR GREEN OVER US
COVER US WITH YOUR POOLS OF FIR
***
I WISH THAT I HAD SPOKEN ONLY OF IT ALL
