This Green Thought

   
 

This green thought
   
 
 

in a larkingly
   
 
 

green shade
   
   
   
   
 

dreamt the most holy
   
 
 

pull your flesh
   
 
 

wish made —
   
   
   
   
 

rain refreshing,
   
 
 

two nipples for
   
 
 

a time ...
   
   
   
   
 

(watershedding
   
 
 

heels over head
   
 
 

in prime
   
   
   
   
 

moonburst wishbone,
   
 
 

eeling clam till
   
 
 

the fall)
   
   
   
   
 

take that! and that!
   
 
 

(her daddy does
   
 
 

it all)
   
   
   
   
 

how afterwards
   
 
 

the air shims faint-
   
 
 

ly blue
   
   
   
   
 

& everywhere my love
   
 
 

breathes back
   
 
 

to you.
