Well hang it all Robert Browning I can’t find my scrofulous French novels!

Elegy
Washing birds is the work of the gods
They’ve been at it some thirty thousand years
One may reasonably believe
Birds were not clean
Before rain gods came
I stand before a plate glass window
Drinking coffee from a paper cup
Many of my friends are gone
Leaves whirl under a streetlamp
Death’s butterflies
I’ve a hymn in mind
Called I Must be Home by Now…

“Take away love and our earth is a tomb.”
