{spring and its purple pollen}
{hear the shop, its soft opening}
{archivist on his way to work}
windmill turning into sunflower decisions
made for it, partial circumferences, larger
like open receptions and niceness, palaver
it accompanies the rich, an escorted turning
pointed thunder like turbines, like hurricane
fans ready to spin more myths, daubed gold
him but a returning pilgrim, pencil outline
begging the tailspin, a quartered golgotha
never seen anyone so calming, sanded in
{feet and centuries under us}
plain butterspread of buttercup tastes sweet
even in these things, freedom wills its run
me scaling a square tract, its saffron field
