Audobon (from New Goose) -- Lorine Niedecker








Tried selling my pictures.  In jail
twice for debt.  My companion
a sharp, frosty gale.


            In England, unpacked
them with fear:
must I migrate back
to the woods unknown, strange
to all but the birds
I paint?


Dear Lucy, the servants here
move quiet
as kildeer.
