THE FAITH The sea so deep and blind The sun, the wild regret The club, the wheel, the mind, O love, aren’t you tired yet? The blood, the soil, the faith These words you can’t forget Your vow, your holy place O love, aren’t you tired yet? A cross on every hill A star, a [...] FOG You see, shore-hugging IS neither surety Nor earns salt pride braving the long sea-sweeps. This came up in the dark while some of us Bore on in our sleep. Was there In the dog-watch already, hiding the dog-star. We woke into it, rising from dreams Of sea-farms slanting on cliffs in clear light And [...] IMAGINING STARRY The place of language is the place between me and the world of presences I have lost —complex country, not flat.
