Particular Calamity

When the brain loses desire to eat,
in the ground, invisible hunger burrows
down, a worm to richer soil. On its surface,

apparent well-being, is not blooming,
but bends down towards the unseen.
Native springs flood the well; a thought,

I know, is good for drink. Of crosses
and foreign countries, I know nothing,
but butterflies and calamities of body-

particularly.
