HEART THREAD, Part Eight

8.

O it’s obvious enough
the way things are
oil burner grumbles on
chilly premises of northern philosophy
what is the matter with the English?
Why can’t they decide
the mind knows nothing about the mind
every table cut flowers in a terra cotta pot
remember every day and night
the promises you made to the sky
our everlasting witness
the house around our house.
