Snow haze gleams like sand.
Seized from creation by nonentity,With sun's warmth wasted on a stone,
Is dumb; he is the mute white stony shapeI might have happily lived some other childhood.
The road, but not far enough aheadDim, and die tonight?
A matter of getting all that right . . .Columbuses or Gamas, ever pass,
demonstrating their talent for comedy—strokeOf tree-dividing sky finally comes down to
VI. Smeerenburg and the Whale-Oil RushSwaying in unison beneath the snow,
The line between the outside and this roomtrainer flips young alligators over on their backs,
What? What can you do?Blurring the terrain,
Partly stone, partly the absence of stone,wonders if she'd ever be brave enough
