These hedges teem. The blood
on the ground still stains
The grass without remains.
The bees suck the purple clover
At dusk. The mist is scarred
in the dream of night. The king’s
Fictions persist.

Play in the hedges, and lovers
dwell in their bowers, borders
That are and are not
in life and in art.
