Frog faces,
frog lust,
frog bellies
in the dust,
till unexpected flame
gave you another name:
(there’s the siren wail again,
May 15;
by the clock,
near 6,
by the sun ):
frog faces,
frog lust,
frog bellies
in the dust
of theLast Judgement Day :
when winter-fog is gone,
the frogs sit in the sun,
and now you can see
strawberry-leaves
on a crown,
a lion,
a unicorn:
- H.D., from Last Winter, 1950
