March,

you remind me of

the pyramids, our pyramids⁠—

stript of the polished stone

that used to guard them!

March,

you are like Fra Angelico

at Fiesole, painting on plaster!

March,

you are like a band of

young poets that have not learned

the blessedness of warmth

(or have forgotten it).

At any rate⁠—

I am moved to write poetry

for the warmth there is in it

and for the loneliness⁠—

a poem that shall have you

in it March.
