Desiderio da Settignano - Young Boy (Italian 1460)
For Oliver Wright.
Everyone has a shell with which to call,
So call! And everyone looks preoccupied.
Upon each sprawling earfall it causes,
the beck is thrust eagerly against
The all--
You were named, and measured lengthwise
In inches--a trout, a record-breaker, a warm stitch--
Apparently it's important,
In the execution of a maiden shawl. It is yours to crave,
Its bay of toys and anxious others from which to cast
A growing shadow
And draw--
From this, little burstling, let
Innocence invariably recede, and your impending
Goodness resolve.
