A sort of cypress reached
Halfway up the longer window;
I came to live here, all the same.

Atop
The lily stems
A handiwork of Spring
The lily castles

Spheroid
Fruit, pleasing
To taste, fattened
By water gushing in all

I am a garden graced by every beauty:
See my splendor, then you will know my being.
For Mohammad, my king, and in his name
The noblest things, past or to come, I equal:

It’ll never be built, that house,
what do you say.

With you I want to say,
humble feet of antelopes,
what I cannot have in mind

Your camping lantern shone among
the cottonwoods. It was then
I should have come. Watching—

Professor Palamedes darts down Westow Street.
Nothing explains how he avoids
Colliding with mutton, plastics, pianos.

Since last September I’ve been trying to describe
Two moonstone hills,
And an ochre mountain, by candle light, behind.
