Sunday, 4 A.M., by Elizabeth Bishop
Wednesday, September 30, 2009 at 5:02PM An endless and flooded
dreamland, lying low,
cross- and wheel-studded
like a tick-tack-toe.
At the right, ancillary,
"Mary" 's close and blue,
Which Mary? Aunt Mary?
Tall Mary Stearns I knew?
The old kitchen knife box,
full of rusty nails,
is at the left. A high vox
humana somewhere wails:
The gray horse needs shoeing!
It's always the same!
What are you doing,
there beyond the frame?
If you're the donor,
you might do too much!
Turn on the light. Turn over.
On the bed a smutch -
black-and-gold gesso
on the altered cloth.
The cat jumps to the window;
in his mouth's a moth.
Dream dream confronting,
now the cupboard's bare.
The cat's gone-a-hunting.
The brook feels for the stair.
The world seldom changes,
but the wet foot dangles
until a bird arranges
two notes at right angles.
- Elizabeth Bishop
