10,606. IN THE SENSE OF A GARDEN

IN THE SENSE OF A GARDEN 

Gnomes and flowers. No idea of

a combination at all. The gatekeeper

was a black stable-boy, but doing that

now would just get you in trouble and

I can't sleep. Hell, I can't even dream.

-

The sheep are in the meadow, and the

cow is in the corn. Magnanimous to be

thankful for such wild information. In 

the farmhouse 's sitting room, I can see,

a faint light stays on until early each day.

-

Some country philosopher, sitting up

alone, late, late at night, reading. Hiding

a lariat in his hand, wondering what else

he can rope : In the sense of a garden,

a golden loom, a spacious place for light.
