2.9.  stay



                                stay here and ask:
                              did the roofs dry out?

                           the seagulls back on shore?

                                the books closed?

                                   and the eyes?


                              a Robin is kept awake

                             by human light the day’s delusion
                               and the day away from the shore

                                  to the Pines that recognise You

                             ‘ve never got Their back

                                                              with Your back
