Between earth and sky, creeping
In windows and doors, daubing

With purple paint.”

And strangers, fond as they, their furrows plough.
Earth laughs in flowers, to see her boastful boys
Earth-proud, proud of the earth which is not theirs.”

And they are far, and time is old.
Within my dream the grass is cold;
The legs and locked; the sky is dead.”
