PURSUIT

As wind-drowned scents that bring to other hills

Disquieting memories of silences,

Broad silences beyond the memory;

As feathered swaying seeds, as wings of birds

Dappling the sky with honey-coloured gold;

Faint murmurs, clear, keen-winged of swift ideas

Break my small silences;

And I must hunt and come to tire of hunting

Strange laughing thoughts that roister through my mind,

Hopelessly swift to flit; and so I hunt

And come to tire of hunting.
