List of contents

The book was open, with its double
That the plant may leaf
But winter now and less repeats, in winter time of all the world
Notebook entry #
Margaret are you
The cat¿s face / the fox¿s face / 6 rides 5 dollars in June
Holding a bird you find almost no body under the wings
As if a corridor
& have you
A scarecrow grew night by night in the field
¿The streem of lyf now droppeth on the chymbe¿
Sun flew over
