1. The Moon Lights Up This Corner of the Grove

Ludwig needs a tonic
coming home without a coat
his head is kaput.

Fodor eats a lump of cream
from the city.
Is it government cream?
   Show it here.
Permit a taste.

Anya has taken the goat, 
his head in her lap
while she peels onions.

Come here, salt the flour,
lay it on the floor.



That night they lie,
berets soaked, clothes undone,
while at the edge of the wood
two men are seen wandering
onto the plain.
