Blacks wind from the north
enter black hearts. Barred from
seclusion in lilys they strike
to destroy —

Beastly humanity
where the wind breaks it —

strident voices, heat
quickened, built of waves

Drunk with- goats or pavements

Hate his of the night and the day
of flowers and rocks. Nothing
is gained by saying the night breeds
murder — It is the classical mistake

The day

All that enters in another person
all grass, all blackbirds flying
all azalia trees in flower
salt winds —
