against the animal and the bill, of the other animal,
not yet ice, above and in air, and breathing, air,
and churning over the damp beach and lowering cauldron
of clouds, Valhalla overturned, and the Yellow King

habitants and the bills come later, and the calls
come later, in this, our autumn, our beloved autumn
of the wicker chairs and veranda, the welkin whose
lineaments, bandaged in our eyes only, and collusion,
among them all, just reaching over, that, death fore-
warned and presenced, so much i already mourning, the
leaving of you, the scudding of it all, autumnal
