it powders all the wood.
it fills with alabaster wool
the wrinkles of the road —
it makes an even face
of mountain, and of plain —
unbroken forehead from the east

it wraps it rail by rail
till it is lost in fleeces —
it deals celestial vail

a summer’s empty room —
acres of joints, where harvests were,
recordless, but for them —
it ruffles wrists of posts
as ankles of a queen —
then stills its artisans — like ghosts —
denying they have been —
