"and of course the flaming
trumpet vine
where the hummingbird comes
like a small green angel, to soak
his dark tongue
in happiness -
and who doesn't want
to live with the brisk
motor of his heart
singing
like a Schubert,
and his eyes
working and working like those days of rapture,
by Van Gogh, in Arles?"
