Two eyes serve a movement, that now
And again now, and now, and now

Sets neat prints into the snow”

and wrap around you,
Take the neon lights and make a crown,
Take the Lenox Avenue buses,
Taxis, subways,
And for your love song tone their rumble down.”

Was sodden as the bed of an ancient lake,
Treed with iron and birdless.”
