One week of plans

Let's trade--she says

                One for one,
         I collect them two

Let’s tri a fourth and divide again by

Two.

        A third I say,
                you’ll consider But not today.

        A penchant for food and

                Six glasses of wine

See you in one week.

Horace speaks

   be unimaginable, pirouette–able
lustrous westward
   and, above all, thirsty
whence the salted rim,
   that pacific firmament within,
sedent-sluice in the ranges
   like pancake in ink
and where to no bottom cadence
   debris take is place
sit now, in your learning
   and guide these reflections
of chary figures--the berries
   in their skins--loaned to babies trading 
sticky toes.
