Daylight Bathing

[The River]

Take me out
The red summer sky
The dance on high
Tail night rye
and dead--bolt
Of a black flaming kite

Take me out
Swift bird bath
The silky word,
Cotton
In mouth

Take me out
and break me, bad song
The hungry eyes
Cotton
Sky,

Take----out
The folding slip
Forget its a mirror
Forget-
with it

with it
Forget me
with it.
