Tattoo
- The light is like a spider.
- It crawls over the water.
- It crawls over the edges of the snow.
- It crawls under your eyelids
- And spreads its webs there—
- Its two webs.
-
- The webs of your eyes
- Are fastened
- To the flesh and bones of you
- As to rafters or grass.
-
- There are filaments of your eyes
- On the surface of the water
- And in the edges of the snow.
From Harmonium, 1923.
