Lost

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;

Having once seen

Scarlet in a jungle, by a deep river—

Scarlet and green.
