All the Duinos.

festination moon
Jupiter in the West
all the cold fires loosed
yet again

Venus in the East
festination overpass
after swarmings cease
grudges amassed

dying of the light
festination moon
dandelion wine
frore parachute

sere parasite

Rilke & Pynchon.

"Long ago the trees thought they were people.
Long ago the mountains thought they were people.
Long ago the animals thought they were people.
Someday they will say
Long ago the human beings thought they were people." --Brenda Peterson, Living By Water
