Trying for a tigerish kind. Something like a horse. Keep this in mind -- then blue. The liquid world of geometry. A lost-wax process. Blue-mercurial. Count the trees: four kinds. Beach and sand then sky. A dark alcove but less of it. A column emerges briefly. Yellow again then the sound. All types then the sound again. Pink baby in a white sack. Bullfrog with green stripes. As though it were a ghost town. Used with the permission of Copper Canyon Press, P.O.
