White Blur of a Face

Caddy uncaught me and we crawled through

Took my hand and we ran through the bright leaves

Put her arm around me – her shining veil full of stars

When I was still, they were still, when I moved, they glinted and sparkled

I hushed

You! Satan! Come down from there – Caddy washed her mouth at the sink, hard

Her face was a white blur

It just missed gentility

The floating shadow of the veil

She is secretive you dont know her

Harvest moons her hips thighs

Odor of honeysuckle

Lying on the ground under the window bellowing

There was something terrible in me sometimes at night grinning

Tragedy is second hand

Eyes going bright

The horror

the horror

of the clean flame
