When I look at the sky now, I look at it for you. br As if with enough attention, I could take it in for you. br br With all the leaves gone almost from br the trees, I did not walk briskly through the field. br br Late today with my dog Wool, I lay down in the upper field, br he panting and aged, me looking at the blue. Leaning br br on him, I wondered how finite these lustered days seem br to you, A stand of hemlock across the lake catches br br my eye. It will take a long time to know how it is br for you. Like a dog's lifetime -- long -- multiplied by sevens.
