Lost

By Genevieve Taggard


From “The Way Things Go” FOREVER lost, like birds forever flying,
Searching bleak space;
Circling, and with the south-wind crying
Across earth’s face:

Arrowed I fly, and like them lost forever;	5
Having once seen
Scarlet in a jungle, by a deep river—
Scarlet and green.
