And Then the Way You Straighten Me Out


I am thinking about the eagerness of leaves
How they tremble before a concussive force
Too tiny to make a lip quiver and the smile
Is again so easily arrived at O the emptied
Mind imagines the mercurial number 5 then
Fills with deep plutonic desires yes it’s true
What you heard I am the last flamboyant snail
Not entirely beautiful or bad I am the least
Clairvoyant of men all I want is to spread
My ragged raven's wings good heavens! 
Is it so much to ask this winter breeze to give
Lake roses for a change?  I on the other hand
Have this very serene dream nearly every night
Your thoughts are like an ocean in a whisper
