[bodytext] => I could paint a phoenix; With Tuscan pigments, I could affix A graffito to the sky. His fetish is the rebound; His feathers lack that nuance— Heavyset in the southwest, where he is extant in the hacienda style. But he is wispy or bulky in the Orient, Black pen or a wedge of kite. In the former, there is no context. But if you ask a child, He is high on the unending scroll. And though the latter is a clod, Schoolboys hope, lost in hypothetical bliss, that their effigies Might meet the real deal when Flown at the right shade of dawn. But I— I could stack a phoenix Out of bricks, Who could not rise.
