See, how the tragic villas, one by one,
Like drowsy lizards creep into the sun.
I EXCAVATE
They let me play at digging in that place,
Scoop ash from painted walls—a girl’s Greek face
Stared from the frieze! Between her and the skies
I hid the smoking mountain from her eyes.
GREEK FRAGMENTS
These arching feet that trip their shattered dance,
This satyr’s mocking mouth, the tumbled scroll,
