oh hear his wild, caustic, tender warbling ceaselessly

unanswered. At my feet the white-petaled daisies display

the small suns of their center-piece, their—if you don’t

mind my saying so—their hearts. Of course

I could be wrong, perhaps their hearts are pale and

narrow and hidden in the roots. What do I know.

But this: it is heaven itself to take what is given,

to see what is plain; what the sun

lights up willingly; for example—I think this

as I reach down, not to pick but merely to touch—

the suitability of the field for the daisies, and the

daisies for the field.
