That fought in the Post Office
Or round the City Hall....”

That I the Judges bride might be!

And praise and toast me at his wine.
My father should wear a broadcloth coat,
My brother should sail a painted boat.”

which was not a womans yet,
told the stars my questions
and thought God could really see
the heat and the painted light,
elbows, knees, dreams, goodnight.”
