in the shade of the eucalyptus
Spring to Autumn
bare in the close woods
my God I sought it

All morning long we looked around the citadel*
green and without luster—breast of a slain peacock—received us like time without an opening in it.Veins of rock dropped down from high above,twisted vines, naked, many-branched, coming aliveat the water’s touch, while the eye following themstruggled to escape the tiresome rocking,losing strength continually.On the sunny side a long empty beachand the light striking diamonds on…
