An excerpt from the collection of poetry from the book:
Spring and Its Flowers Then, Tell me your fantasies, you siad. And I: OK; I'm lying in bed, asleep, a child, and you, you're sitting int he rocker there, knitting, like a mother bear. And you: Can I be the one in the bed, too? and you in the chair there, knitting?
That February you dreamed your old father said, Spring this year and its flowers will cost you eighteen thougsand dollars. Waking up we wished we could have lived together in a green and blue walled garden forever... We didn't know we were so close to the world's mouth, the drunk bear's ashy thing.
