it is with
in a

beneath
a thick

that some

folds old
ideas
of july’s

it was not wren
nor robin
it was not sharp
thorn nor
a quick sleek cat’s
shivering jaw
it
was
as
though (t)
kindling set
on a
knoll
near
where the
woods’
stream
kinks
most
( no need
to speak )
the knack
is not a
trick it’s
ancient

kneel down
to your ( to

hearth and
knap
flint so
spiked
light
bites
