That is So Shu, using the moon for churn stick

my catch, construct out of
bouillabaisse : as follows :
flapping as slipping and flapping, here
were the cobbles meet with the lake water

scarlet, and Catullus said the waves laugh here
in the border rushes,

and in the olives in the sunlight,
or a laugh louder, when the wind drives the
water over the squared shale at the point
under the ruin'd arches.
and the rain walks with, grouped
slanting,??

firm footfall
the footfall

Et lo soleils plovil, the sun rains, and its
spatter of fire darts up like a rain splash

Welter of sea-swim !

Ivy upon the oars, King Pentheus,
Grapes with no seed but sea-foam,

And the rowers pulling and heaving,
Where was no room for root-clutch,

The ship like a keel in dry-dock,
Ribs stuck on the ways,

hung like an ox in smith's sling,
Water cutting under the keel,

and the boys still pulling and reeling
Sea-break from stern lorrards,
Na The wake running off from the
Vine trunk where gunwale had been,

heavy vines on the oarshafts,
Back-churn of waves through the oars,
tenthrils where cordage had been,
And out of nothing a breathing.

Leafage over the oarlocks
Beasts like shadows in glass,

quiet still shapes in the aether,
And out of nothing a breathing,

Hot breath on my ankles,
Heathery smell of beasts where tar-smell had been

A furred ear upon nothingness,
eye glitter out of black air,
And I stood there, I, Acoetes,
and the God stood by me,
Sniff and pad-foot of beasts,
fur brushing my knee-skin,
Lynx-couch by the fore hatch.

Void air taking pelt,
Feline leisure of panthers,
purr and rustle of sheaths,
Lifeless air taking sinew,

Arbour where pin-rack had been
Leopards sniffing the grape-shoots,
cat-whisker by scupper-hole,
Crouched panthers by fore-hatch,
the sky overshot, dry, with no tempest,
And the sea deep about us,
green-ruddy in shadows,
Furred tail on a shadow,

lynx-purr, then Lyaeus :
