Take me to the place where everything is–<\/strong><\/p>\n

The droll of my youth<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 follies somewhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My father and my dogs,<\/strong><\/p>\n

And other dead relationships,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 field in a meadow union all my former joys.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Upon which trunks the human story carved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where upon the bark is mine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The space of time– a distance of eons,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ribbons and twines<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 all real and corporeal.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The package unwraps<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 from around the unknown gift.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The recipient is not present–<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 but clocks within his own time,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 leaving upon a tree<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Summer of green degrees;<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 till yellow and<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brown to fall<\/strong><\/p>\n

Signify<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the end<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 of it all.<\/strong><\/p>\n
