    Spends on the earthen hide, in the folds and wizenings, flows

    In the gutters of the banked and staring eyes.

    He is in the tailor mending my pantsuit.
    He is in Boston, raised up by the skyscrapers.

    He is in the potter who makes clay into a kiss.
    Heaven replies:
    Not so! Not so!
