    The text:

    between warm sun
    and a warm day
    a life and its mind,
    vessel and content,
    near and distant
    sounds incant that
    those who know
    this world by heart
    do cartwheels in
    these clearings

    motors
    and lights
    and the
    ringing
    equation
    of night
    remain
    in bright
    dawning
    memory
