LITTLE SIDE STREET, by                    
First Line: Sobs ghost-wind on a little side street
Last Line: Peopled with dust-motes.
Subject(s): Wind


Sobs ghost-wind on a Little Side Street
Of my heart, where joyed of the morning I meet
Life and her wares; pomegranates of gold;
Hammered missal, and cantos that never grow old—
Ghost-like sobs the wind;

Orchard's mad waking—incorrigible day
Breaking in beauty; under mould-creviced way
Of cobble-stone, other springs.. still,
Burnishing a waterfall under the hill—
Orchard's mad waking.

Peopled with dust-motes the Little Side Street;
Petals, wind-showered, drenching my feet;
Wind-ghost, wavering, from his pack drops a sigh:
Crooning, I hold it.. my face to a sky.
Peopled with dust-motes.
