"He feels the breaking surge and howling wind,
But most he feels the tempest in his mind." --Hoole's Ariosto

1.
clouded wish
for chiming uppermost
shadowless
onslaught of shadows

2.
the old songs
so full of pity
not quite skidding
in the morning drizzle

my good moves & my bad
swell the one record
which is not a map
of injury
of green yellow or red precipitation
of words taken up & then laid aside
as insufficient

to the moment's loss

3.
on the salt plain
spook-companioned
no coilname blurt
& there will be looking back
from a peace vantage

though none of this
will have been saved
