5168. HOW THIS STONE IS FILLED WITH LONGING

HOW THIS STONE IS 
FILLED WITH LONGING
And how much I really want you and
how much I really care. On Rittenhouse
Square the battles of some old church with
Tiffany windows are rattled by the curse of
the marriage hearse : my mind here used 
William Blake as a crutch but know well
what it's doing. Apart from the hoary spout
of bad religion all things sputter and belief,
like an unsettled blood, runs past the gutter.
-
We are all sheep, I sometimes think, in
a wolf's clothing; agreeable animals in
disagreeable times and places.
