Even out of happiness, like a smoke
The words get heavy, some topple over, you break others.
And outlines disappear once again.”

Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I’ll drown my book.”

Unless I break it with the thrusting
Of my senses and pass through
The splintered walls to the great landscape.”
