From “Tidewater”
T
A painter of faintly-filled outlines,
A singer of folk-songs.
Are all of one innocent green.
Nothing so young as that green—
An outline cut by a child
From a soft new blotter.
They suck up a pert chiaroscuro—
Gold, meretricious, knowing high-lights,
Hopelessly clever.
Dry in the sun.
