Marked for Love

Look you

Marked for love

What pants

What sweater 

What blue space

Be more sure-footed

Ha,  what sound

From what foam

Bubbling from a stream

Count the cats

And sometimes 

This is enough

Birds float by the sun

What sometimes

And, lastly, and all to well

What have I done

Fallen asleep 

Like everyone.
