notes,
when we walk easily and lowly
on an avenue, with a camera, with two hearts
we see and we have seen it
___we breaststroke through a night so
___dark and slovenly as to turn a sunrise purple
___to red, ashamed
books,
when we love properly
when we speak slowly to better hear
the dripping of a warm and raining noon
___there was nowhere left to go for us
___coolly dryly, bookish we sat
___and to a boyish morning, hurtled
will we sit again, as we walk
will we again open those books and laugh
