just what Earth secrets do you seek,
little Mercury, that you keep your ear
so near the ground?
your aphelion from sun still finds you close
and just before the dawn.
---
in a mornings time
or evenings, even
I can measure the Sun.
o little globes
from far you teach the
circling
circling
spirals
seem to make the movement
[form]
but down, WAY down
the snowflakes shape
:
angular
columnar.
