Adept: think this:
the little world as image
of the big one (Hermes
held in his waxen hand
the emerald tablet)—
Blue-coppery-Tang
dynasty-yellow-blossoms
forging
frogs— await— dusk
(we noticed a heron over
the lumps of ______their eyes!)
( it was like asking
to be told what to do when
you’re already doing it)
