4065

 4065
The trick of normalcy
Carried a canvas to a field
Then conjured on a blank
A madonna of conciliation
Who anneals with a glance;
She sighed for your unpacked sorrow
Your sleight of hand that hid
What must out--
In the parlors and pubs,
As a man against the wall--
What might be the first sunflower,
The first night sky.
