that sleep all the year in a dark box
dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,
the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,
put up your little arms
and ill give them all to you to hold”

In forms imaginary, th unguided days
And rotten times that you shall look upon
When I am sleeping with my ancestors.”

They are provident instead,
Content in the tight hot cell of their hearts
To eat dusty bread.”
