—A bumblebee the size of my thumb

rises like Geryon

From the hard Dantescan gloom

Under my window sash to lip the rain gutter’s tin bolgia,

Then backs out like a hummingbird

spiraling languidly out of sight,

Shoulders I’ve wanted to sit on, a ride I’ve wanted to take,

Deposited into the underlight

of cities thronged in the grass,

Fitful illuminations, iron-colored plain that lies

Littered with music and low fires,

stone edge of the pit

At the end of every road,

First faces starting to swim up:

Bico, my man, are you here?
