Hugh and Sue


it is possible now how to understand
if you whim or will it
thus
if a man or a city
shake off its occupation for a time
just long enough say to scan the sky
still there or the sea
also or someplace else
unchanged from what it was
why then here’s provocation here’s delight
here is the spoiler’s hand to do it down
and the waste of time to tell the tale in
that comes back
variously
