  and the hedges wet in the rain, flake away in a sheet of wind,
  and for a moment anyone working: rusty bells, April
  birds, blatants brides, anything you can name that has not
  died, so exactly, and even the wind like a lover’s hand,
  a somehow important wind, something too like sleep or slain
  enemies,
  and the feet move through paths not restricted by the
  bull-goaded mind,

  and see—all and everywhere—hedges in the rain
like great min-cathedrals now, new Caesars, cats walking,
  new gods without plug or wire, love without wasps,
  new Christians, bulls, Romes, new new leaves, new rain
  now splashing through the fire; and I close the door, old room,
  I fall upon the couch, I sweat and I cough I cough small words
  lions bearing down dint of coffee cups and puddles, I
  sigh, Cleopatra. Not for either of us, but for the rest.
