The Little White Rose ( by Hugh Macdiarmid )


The rose of all the world is not for me.
I want for my part
Only the little white rose of Scotland
That smells sharp and sweet - & breaks the heart.

Tar and vices
he was a quiet man.

Kenneth's Garden




The sunlight on the garden
Hardens and grows cold,
We cannot cage the minute
Within it's nets of gold,
When all is told....

Michael's Building ((scriptorium? +L.N. ) )


Illustrated night clocks
          constellations
and the booming
                                          star ticks


Soon I rise
to give the universe
                my flicks

A Quiet Flock of Words


Honest
                   Solid
                                       The lip
               of tipped 
lily
    


A quiet flock 
                 of words
                                            not the hound--
             howl
holed


Night
                   the sag 
                                        of day

My mother 
                all the years
                               no day

(Lorine Neidecker)
