I wish Earth years more of gills and ears
the strega's blue-grey hair
girl-saints about to fire into love,
arrows over them (I mean Saugeen plants!)
installed in some alcove--
the liquid doves at my fence;
raccoon with leaden snout
seeing into me
and storming for release, too;
rabbits yoked to my gardens,
who have to be there also, of course,
risibly still,
arrows over their heads, too; and
gooey fish milt in the lake
(were you only sentient enough to see!)--
I wish years of the bird-headed, & all but grey
hair of a poet's wife,
gall wasp
with the linear to heart-shaped eye
