Page 11 I Music from the shoals, The Western sirens hum, The traveller holds his inner beat, Seeks words To make it by.

Page 13 Finding No Sweet Bells for L.H. Landwise or seaside finding: No sweet bells to mark the fault, The winds of Helicon aged and dry, And love's libretto an elegy I lament those winesong springs, My careless sirens of eternity. Then was the barefoot festival My backyard carnival of faith, But sunset now is unhallowed (A broken echo of lost mourning.)

Page 14 "Because I Do Not Hope to Know Again" These fragments are shrapnel joy Veteran fare of youth, Long and joyous and uncontrolled my summer days in heat Impossible women are re-born/rising from the ocean Sidewalks downtown (I know they await my ring, the wand's old exhibition.) Reading these ancient ruins I forget the rain outside My family's profound sleep.
