She was an
elfin
pinnace
;
lustily
I dipped my
oars
into the
silent
lake
The horizon's bound a
huge
peak
black
and
huge
Towered
up between me and the stars
Blank
desertion
no
familiar
shapes
no
pleasant
images
of
tress
Rocky
cove
troubled
pleasure
sparkling
light
Small circles
glittering
idly in the
moon
Merciless iced east winds that knive us
Pale flakes
with
fingering stealth
come
feeling
for our
faces
Less deadly than the air that shudders black with snow
War
lasts
rain
soaks
and clouds
sag
stormy
Snow
dazed
Sidelong
flowing
flakes
that
flock
Littered with
blossoms
trickling where the
blackbird fusses
All their
eyes
are
ice
This
wizened
earth never
troubled
us
Exploding
comfortably
We are
bombarded
by the
empty air
Space is
salvo
Pummels
your
house
too
No
stacks
nor are there
trees
No
trees
no
natural shelter
Spits
like a
tame cat
We just sit right while the
wind dives
