The Elk (Eliot Cardinaux)

 

The Elk



Naked I step out among you
but the land is only land.

Whistlers in the thicket
the traveler sets his bags

down
has turned into the

night
and stammered.

They wear on their backs
as fleas.

Like death to watch
were the storm infinite

and how the houses cold
the sun new,

the elk
live long, remember;
 
like summer
taking off the hats.
