Mill River at Sunset: New Haven

Is not this what we want?
            A bird
                       in China
                                  singing?

To sit here thinking
           that bamboo
                       in wind
                                  need never cease?

To believe
            that the buffalo up to his nose
                        in ooze
                                    shall roll again

and fields
            recover from flooding
                                    a pearly grain?
