This fine line is Jupiter extended
Into Jehovah, losing in renewal
Somewhat, urbanity and excitation:
Who is a Jewish god, is cruel.
For he is fed on human flesh,
The heavy heart, the hopeless 2
hand, ~.
The foot that overlooks the arc
OF subdivided sea and land:
The foot that finds no place to pause,
Nor is allowed this gesture, even
An altar lonely and obscure. ,-
A flame extended into Heaven.

That builds cellar sheltered from

Preferring assurance to a thunder

The Rope Trick.
The trout season brings to mind
the chap who tried to teach me
how to tie trout flies and the bar
tender in Havana Of whom I have
/ greater awe The mixologist looked
as though he had no other interest
in life beyond the mathematical ad-
justment of his black bow tie, but
he certainty could throw together
package of three bottles of Barcardi
rum. I made a discreet purchase
from the hombre. who fascinated
Inc by deft method of tying the
package so that I could carry IL
satchelwise He didn't double back
on the cord once and there I had
the perfect package that could have,

The booze and wrappings were scat

and the solace that comes from the
well-known weed that is sweet when
the morn is gray; sweet when
they've cleared away lunch; and, at
close Of day, possibly sweetest.
