The train runs on through wilderness

Of cities. Still the hammered miles

Diversify behind her face.

And all humanity of interest

Before her angled beauty falls,

As whorling notes are pressed

In a bird’s throat, issuing meaningless

Through written skies; a voice

Watering a stony place.

XIII

I put my mouth

Close to running water:

Flow north, flow south,

It will not matter,

It is not love you will find.

I told the wind:

It took away my words:

It is not love you will find,

Only the bright-tongued birds,

Only a moon with no home.
