CALLS Because I have called to you as the flame flamingo calls, or the want of a spotted hawk is called-- because in the dusk the warblers shoot the running waters of short songs to the homecoming warblers-- because the cry here is wing to wing and song to song-- I am waiting, waiting with the flame flamingo, the spotted hawk, the running water warbler-- waiting for you. SEA-WASH The sea-wash never ends. The sea-wash repeats, repeats. Only old songs? Is that all the sea knows? Only the old strong songs? Is that all? The sea-wash repeats, repeats.

The warblers cry their sleepy-songs Across the valley gloaming, Across the cattle-horns of early stars. Feathers and people in the crotch of a treetop Throw an evening waterfall of sleepy-songs.
