    Night, for heat. But each

    Morning it returned


    Whole, and draped with a

    Restless blue fabric

    A wave’s skeleton

    Dutch Flower Painting from the 1670s

    The ladybird (or -bug) exits stage right,
    Or, no, stage left, tiptoeing the tabletop,
    But somewhat towards us, towards the source of light,

    Bouquet of blooms that never blew together,
    Golden-age adynaton.
