praise dusk when that rare
drifting clod tastes like sugar
and the oak’s champagne branches
carve round brown troughs for milk
when my skin smells of the pocked field’s
muddy cadences—its song, its chord, its strum
praise the bridge-tower that slopes over the blond shoulder
of a runner as the pale blue struts are hammered by a choir
