VII
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
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
