<h5>FROM “FLESH: A GEOGORIAN ODE”</h5>
<p class="poem">
Ebb on with me across the sunset tide<br/>
And float beyond the waters of the world,<br/>
The light of evening slipping from my side,<br/>
Thy softened voice in waves of silence furled.<br/>
<br/>
Flow on into the flaming morning wine,<br/>
Drowning the land in color. Then on high<br/>
Rise in thy candid innocence and shine<br/>
Like to a poplar straight against the sky.<br/></p>
