the lone bird
unpursing the blue
the sky nonetheless blue
the sky nonetheless red
the sky nonetheless
the laughing flowers Bloomsday
the unwavering stream
the white reachless hands of cloud
the aching bowl of dream
the curve of woman
the curve of child
the curve of man
the boat with silt skin
the boat that kisses China
the boat that kisses the
New World
the cliff leaning over
to kiss sea spray or bird or gravity
the long kiss
the long steadless kisses
the hot kiss of beach
bird pass the stern
bird pass the bow
here the bird goes
