To love she said no . . .
Winter howls ringing so cold,
. . . Naked trees in wind.

Schooled in crass vanity,
Pointed scales of pufferfish,
Blowing up themselves.

Little birds, wings beating, my heart—
Frogs jumping in pond.

Music in a hollow room,
The divisions of joy.

Birds gather on tree,
Innocent as morning sun—
Cat bleats by window.

As the sun went down,
Her smile after my apology,
. . . Little gift to me.

Cellar out of bounds,
One box contains scent of her,
Don't want to go there.

Milky tears at night—
Sparks and rowing words tear out,
. . . Moon spilling over.

One lash from her eye—
Lovely, cruel voice binding me,
. . . Exquisite torment.
