Naked, while excepting
the water which clothes me;
wanting for a length more
to cover my chest
which, chill in the nude air,
makes the seeming of an Adonis
wrapped in the veil of Tantalus
.
I think of rumcake,
the wrappings of incense
around bead curtains
I wonder of home
which has no trapping name
Bricks and stones built alone
on vapor and idealism
.
Now I am warm
Here I am well fed
Today I had the contentment of a bath
in this place, the words were said
I'd like to live in Alaska
