Cold Marble
after Sherwood Anderson

One strategic wish

Pressed again.   And all the bluebirds of happiness soaked.   And delft.

The spidery boy and our dusty older brother. Orbit round his aerated head.

Now my old city sees me pick my burden up.

Salvo pressed against  

Syllogism and the

Perfect world.
