8.iv.24

they had a name for everything

for godsbother

 

so comprised

 

saw themselves in a pool made glass

 

they sound like the place if you’d hear

 

may not have had socks as such

no word for aeroplane

but knew what flew

 

sky up for thunder

could cringe

 

they took a stick to dig

 

woke by light

slept to fire

so saw the day again

 

so many things they would wish to make god

and were yet to invent

 

they had a word for sweat, for leer

a day away, a month

 

all the while it was taming to them

they shone as we shine

 

they told each other too

when looks and limbs were knowing

 

their eyes as good as where they went

 

if the sun showed

they knew

 

though often quite other

their dying wish

 

they left us to all this
