In the ice hall
We cannot talk
For water drips
Around our ears;
...
It is not something we can help;
We have met,
And, virtually
Together we are virtually apart;
...
In the gloaming, I am the shaven
Man, misboarded and trammeled
At my Lord's High Table;
I am His, a renounceful creature,
...
My pale blue fingers cannot grasp
The coolness of my soul
Or hold the gut feeling I have
For you. They cannot trace
...
Montparnasse, the bohemian quarter;
Its roofs like metal sheets;
The heavy rain falling.
...
A kestrel, hovering, wing-beats
Above the earth -
Touch it! Touch it! The intangible -
When it falls, there is death
...
Two days ago, I found you dead
On the roadside.
In my absence you have grown lean;
You have become shrunken, your feathers
...
