So few and less, then one
Ladybug is on the moon,
Our ceiling.
This last utopian
Who once like a rising rain,
With his flickering myriads,
Made the earth a sky
From which clipped petals fell,
Now surveys his whole life's portion,
An unfellowed expanse.

On a different page of hours
This grief ran like a surf
Outvoiced by its motive sea:
A slight limb and ear and blank eye
Was bid, this outlarged smallest absence,
Silent
By the horizen-touching sorrow beyond.

We fugitive spirits
We midsummer's night's dream--
We venlafaxine, we Bottom,
We valium, we Puck--
We one moment stopping
We next moment stuck.
