munching a plum on

6. He grew up by the sea
Her jaw wagging
He's dead
his coat resembles the snow
How clean these shallows

The smell of the heat is boxwood
The sunlight in a
The universality of things
the unused tent

8. The alphabet of
The bank is a matter of columns

9. The horse moves
The hydrangea,
Their time past, pulled down
The little sparrows
The living quality of
The moon, the dried weeds

This plot of ground

In a red winter hat blue
In a tissue-thin monotone of blue-gray buds
In Brueghel's great picture, The Kermess,
In passing with my mind

13. view of winter trees
