To scare church-harpies from the master's feast;

Thou art no Sabbath-drawler of old saws,
Distill'd from some worm-canker'd homily;
But spurr'd at heart with

To embattail and to wall about thy cause
With iron-worded proof, hating to hark

memories
of cities
cities draped with our desires
cities early and late
cities strong cities intimate

And over my body your body extends
the layer of its clear mirror.
