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 the Last Judge
ment 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
