After great pain, a formal feeling comes-
After great pain, a formal feeling comes-
The Nerves sit ceremonious, like Tombs-
The stiff Heart questions 'was it He, that bore,'
And Yesterday, or Centuries before'?
The Feet, mechanical, go round-
A Wooden way
Of Ground, or Air, or Ought-
Regardless grown,
A Quartz contentment, like a stone-
This is the Hour of Lead-
Remembered, if Outlived,
As Freezing persons, recollect the Snow-
Firs - Chill -then Stupor -then the letting go-
Heart of Wood
My next-door neighbor's sturdy:
A horse chestnut on Corso Re Umberto;
My age but he doesn't seem it,
He shelters sparrows and crows, and has no
shame
Putting out buds and leaves in April,
Fragile flowers in May, and in September
Burrs with harmless spines
That hold shiny, tannic chestnuts.
An impostor, but naïve: he wants to seem
Like his fine mountain brother's rival,
Lord of sweet fruit and rare mushrooms.
It's not a happy life. The number 8
And 19 trams run across his roots
Every five minutes, leaving him deaf,
And he grows twisted, as if he wants to escape.
Year after year, he sucks up gentle poisons
From the methane-saturated subsoil;
He's drenched by dog piss,
The striations on his bark get clogged
With the avenues’ polluted dust;
Under his bark hang desiccated
Chrysalises that will never be butterflies.
Still, in his slow-witted wooden heart
He senses and enjoys the changing seasons.

"Don't panic! He definitely wouldn't
know we're hiding here!" Mr. Zhou was
like a fortune teller because Bai Qiulin
was heard stepping into the bedroom and
stopped before the dresser. Ma Tian's face
blanched, and he held his breath from
fear of being discovered.

situation. At least there are
