the winkles would be wet and glisten blue like little night skies themselves

The bell-beat of their wings above my head, Trod with a lighter tread.

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,

repetition

Where the phone lay unattended in a calm Of mirror glass and sunstruck pendulums…

A Call - imagery

There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,

Lake Isle of Innisfree - imagery

I see the white cloud of his hair In the distance like an eternity.

It's Not - metaphor

You in your going-away coat speeding ahead And me, me then like a fleet god gaining Upon you before you turned to a reed

What does living do to any of us? And why do we grip it, hang on As if it’s the ribs of a horse Past commanding?

The streets that broke their backs

When he saw her passing by in her white trousers Dangling a knife on a ring at her belt.

The winter evening settles down With smell of steaks in passageways. Six o’clock.
