“The mouth of the drowned dog. After long rain the land
Was sodden as the bed of an ancient lake,
Treed with iron and birdless.”

Two eyes serve a movement, that now
And again now, and now, and now

Sets neat prints into the snow”

While the Weary Blues echoed through his head.
He slept like a rock or a man that’s dead.”
