that blue that green · death blurting from
stumps on the much-stuttered road
my Green Fairy griffinage · in graysmoke days
sang with a certain chill
gossamer stool · gainsays slugly
in the laggard lane ever
spare me from the pain · of this perishing dot
"Dead, we rest beneath the elder bushes,
Watching the gray gulls."

The Invasion of Thunderbolt Pagoda (1968). ☆☆
