“Therefore our legends always come around to seeming legendary,
A path decorated with our comings and goings. Or so I’ve been told.”

With anything with soft-wooded trees
With mounds of earthmounds
Of pine straw will keep themselves off

Forgotten mornings when he walked with his mother
Through the parables
Of sunlight
And the legends of the green chapels
And the twice-told fields of infancy”
