17 (18)

his gratitude
1-4
in him such summering
so rock from torrent cup
uncrying salmon leap
5-8
to broker streaming heart
relipped and summon fin
to sea or ember thumb
9-12
its sulphur taste devour
as ether shadowing
abandonment for hail

13-16
abandonment for hail
so searing jet in sky
to trail as memory
17-20
its autumn blur beyond
reproach in southerly
cascading steward blue

21-24
could cleanliness for hands
secure such crediting
as trust once seen in eyes
25-28
yea cleanliness for hands
electing thighs doth
better word in equalling
29-32
unwalled as quiet flame
to charcoal whom from cloud
or whomlessness to winning
33-36
hour for feet as shy
as deer or wintry arms
to warring discipline

37-40
pursue then overtaking
blame as enemy
until in need I fall
41-44
without a cry consume
the dirt unknowing and outstreeted
yet deserving
45-48
contradiction less
than any starving child
or migrant being made
49-50
to halt by monarch state
with promises for seed.
