From that heaven of leaves, of cool / earth and nothing to fear. How far. /  How lush your bed. How heavy your / prey. Day arrives. You gorge, sleep, / wade the stream. Night kneels at your / feet like a gypsy glistening with jewels. / You raise your head and the great / mouth yawns. You swallow the light.
