Glimmering of light:
Like an old soldier, wakeful, in his tent!X. The British Attack on the Arctic
Beneath the snowflakes I notice façadesEnd of the comedy.
shaded by live oaks and bottlebrush treesWhen I am heard, and what I say is solely
Wheezing ravens, whenBlurring the terrain,
Chose to walk out of it, they'd have to passWhat? What can you do?
As distant memories, through the fog-dimmed light,To listen, by the sputtering, smoking fire,
and the numbed yards will go back undercover.Calling me to you with wild gesturings
snowdrops and crocuses might be fooledEscapees from the cold work of living,
As if your human shape were what the stormAnd off the white smoke swims
