Winter bends low to blow gusty breaths, cold,
out of his northern lair beyond the warm

Having been swimming in the company of the military,
The nozzles of guns surveying in moments solitary:

and oddly, though, I am not sad.
Yes, the fields will soon be emptied
of pastel-colored flowers and buzzing bees
and wading knee-deep in tall,...
