A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

E. E. Cummings

between green
                        mountains
sings the flinger
of

fire    beyond red rivers
of fair perpetual
feet the
sinuous

             riot

the
flashing
bacchant.

partedpetaled
mouth,face
delirious.   indivisible
grace

           of dancing
