With the gums gone . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
are . . . . . . . . . And though the nose is . . . . . . . nothing,
the eye . . . . . . . . . . 

And now the . . . . . . . . 
Of the radiator . . . . . . . . floor
is . . . . . . . . , the even row of it
fit to raise
. . . . . . . . children.

You will count . . . . . . . 
You will stay in the midst of them,
You will know . . . . . . . , you will hear them
in the narrow . . . . . . . .  .

In . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . endlessness
Snow, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . salt
He lost his . . . . . . . . . . . . .  .

The color white. He walks
Over a . . . . . . . . . . . carpet made
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  .

Without eyes or thumbs
He suffers . . . . . . . . . . . . 
But the . . . . . . . . . . . . quiver

In the . . . . . . . . . . . . . . endlessness
How . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . a wound
His . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . left.

Snow, . . . . . . . . . . salt . . . . . . . . . . .
In the . . . . . . . . . . . . . endlessness.

Blue-rooted heron, . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . lake
. . . . . . . . . . . song, like me no traveler
Taking . . . . . . . . . . . . . rest, loose-winged water-bird
And dumb with music . . . . . . . . . . .  .

I stand upon the waterfront, like him no traveler
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , dangling on . . . . . . . . . . . wings.
Aching for flight, for . . . . . . . . . . . 
I . . . . . . . . . . . . . . and take my rest.

They will not hunt us . . . . . . . . . . . 
The flesh of the . . . . . . . . is . . . . . . . . . and is dumb.
The sound of an arrow, the sight of a hunter
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . life without wings.

So let us die for death alone is motion
And death alone will make these herons fly.
