#1896 - a simple head

 

1896

6.69

10.iii.25

a simple head

for wise surprise

 

a stretch of the imagination

in leaf and hid in leaf

 

many of these pictures no longer are

 

as in the tune you’ll improvise

never yet again

 

some said it was a map

to guess

 

and some days

as anciently written

though none could read

this was known the writing lost

 

run out of self

in word and thought

 

mud’s my cover

there’s nowhere else

 

when I am just in the picture

gone too

as if there were a plan

when actually

I follow along

as have been lead

just as far as we go
