2 little whos

wonderful tree

smiling stand
(all realms of where
and when beyond)
now and here

(far from a grown
-up i&you-
ful world of known)

(2 little ams
and over them this
aflame with dreams
incredible is)

  2. what if a much of a which of a wind
    gives the truth to summer's lie;
    bloodies with dizzying leaves the sun
    and yanks immortal stars awry?
    Blow king to beggar and queen to seem
    (blow friend to fiend: blow space to time)
    -when skies are hanged and oceans drowned,
    the single secret will still be man

    what if a keen of a lean wind flays
    screaming hills with sleet and snow:
    strangles valleys by ropes of things
    and stifles forests in white ago?
    Blow hope to terror; blow seeing to blind
    (blow pity to envy and soul to mind)
    -whose hearts are mountains, roots are trees,
    it's they shall cry hello to the spring

    what if a dawn of a doom of a dream
    bites this universe in two,
    peels forever out of his grave
    and sprinkles nowhere with me and you?
    Blow soon to never and never to twice
    (blow life to isn't: blow death towas)
    -all nothing's only our hugest home;
    the most who die, the more we live.
