Then, the three flat-faced blond-haired husky ones.

And the little girl, so beautiful she was named –

to avert the evil of the evil eye –

after a prince, not princess. In crossed arms cradling her,

her brothers, tanned and long-limbed.

(Great fishermen, hauling out of Atlantic

their catch and their coal

and netting with appleblossom the shoals of their sky.)

And, last, as if of another birth,

the hunchback with the poet’s face; and eyes

blue as the glass he looks upon; and fruit

his fragrant knuckles and joints; of iron marrow; –

affecting always a green habit, touched with white.
