& sometimes you get the mean reds

it's better to look at the sky than to live there
such an empty place;             s  o        vague
just a country           where the thunder goes
&                                       things disappear
(        y      o     u                     s a   i    d      ,

(                     levity, sugar-   & promise.)   )
