In the quiet something must about
Inside,
Where the scaffolding has narrowed the path,
And the tended green in its shadow
Must die.
Nothing waits to happen outside;
A breath will compass expectancy
Tied with the air
That tends the green and moves the shadows,
Ends the scaffold in time.

Interior window

Mark his time in chance
Hair-fine arcs of blue gold and green.
His reflection passed here once,
By hazard,
A strand of color tells me.

That'll tread her and wed her and bed her and red her	13
Without ever winking the tail of a feather	14
And that's how that chap's going to make his money and mark!	15

The winging ones. Seahawk, seagull, curlew and plover, kestrel	17
