Poetry

This proposes ‘spring’

i

Up Clarinet Drive,

where a blackbird

………………….(the violets adore her)

……—drove like a nail

the worm

This

proposes

‘spring’.

ii

It arrove, arrives or is arriven -

lucid the struck

blossom falls

————   from

——  -a flower tree

loosed white flake

——–by white flake

————by white flake.

iii

Only in this poem

will the blossom drop,

and, mid- take, vanish

with a champagne pop

and the worm

escape.
