23 A thousand canopies all ported on


23
A thousand canopies all ported on
A thousand canopies all ported on
Ten thousand stilts, Landing, Helios spins
A foreign ring carrying water for
The human races. Things we know, leaning
A hand on a table, and staring at
The wall, hazed out. Phased beams! of sound sharpen
Him, a Cathedral ringing its bells, he
Sits for a moment in meditation,
Then stands up and goes out and calls,
All men ho! Tack the lines!
Autumnpink viola sub rosa in
Suite no. 3 in C, Johann Sebastian. Bach,
The ease of coming and going
The men keep the canopies working for man,

Helios, is probably pleased.
