29

(N. Y. 1/29/33)

"At heaven's gate" the larks: have

Read to date the mth reversion, "re" Marx,

Of the mind's image a hangar,

A red crane-on the nearby wharves.

In the spring-blue day-not working

But not out of languor.

January the 2gth, the 29th birthday

Falling on a Sunday.

As planned there should be today

29 songs written over two years-

And with, but without expected, pay.

I have written down twenty-three,

Leaving 5 and another page blank,

To record a January without snow

For the delectation of the file and rank.
