A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.
I have wasted my life.”

But wait through fish scale, shale dust, bone

caught leaves in ice,
Til flung on a new net of atoms:”

Yellow-eyed hawk of the mind,
Last evening? that I, who had sat
Dumbfounded before a knave,
Should give to my friend
A pretence of wit.””
