windsock flutters at a touch of breeze; starshine sings its subfusc song.Speak, old ghosts, wherever you may be. Come
straggling through fields and over stiles-- ford the grass- less pastures wild time
has gnawed.
With rusted scythes and secateurs, open the veins of the past;
gather, you souls at the edge. Gather your joys and dreads and scatter them like stones-- so heavy, so cold-- over the furrows of memory, the ever- burning effigy of the child hang- ing from his tree.
