[Wilyem Clark]

And what about those,
The bricks at your feet,
Elling all over the place,
Titanic tesserae
In rose-sooty hues,
Rough-surfaced and speckled,
Dense sawtoothed waves
Lapping their bounding shores,
Surrounding more tranquil
Sahara-toned squares.
The overall theme
Must be "islands and ocean,"
Right-angularized
To express an ideal.
