Gazebo

Perhaps it was because of that little temple

A fragment up there of a hen-yard Greece

That I saw myself seeing myself or more precisely

Seeing all four of us, minuscule, three

Adults and a child, the only one who really had

The right human proportions, the others pretending

To exceed with their normal height and intellect

The waterfowl with whom the child

Felt herself on an equal footing, and while they bandied

The names of Lucretius or Gadara

Or told each other that in this natural setting

Laid out in their image as thinking beings

They were as outrageous as statues

Displayed in a virgin forest

The little girl ecstatic like Saint Francis

Talked with beaked and winged beasts

Who just then bore her up to seventh heaven.
