EVERY SENTENCE IS A TRAIN OF PEARL
every sentence is a train of pearl
gliding into whiter distances-
where you will whisper in the
cloud-filled air
remonstrances of silver
there will never be another snow
like this covering even
the beginning of silence with
softer and softer tracklessness
and no one needs to come to
your assistance under a sky
this vast-
