Quentin Compson’s Pocket Watch.

 One thing minus the horse has to happen first.


Here you are. What are you thinking? Are you

Leaving so soon? Green joy. We love you. Have

Some stew before you move on. Rest.


The sons and daughters of the town wonder, too,

How you got here, your eyes on the ocean , your

Drawings of places they’ve never been and how you

Drew them.

Your feet on their fathers’ cliff.


They won’t talk about it, but what about you.


Looking down, now, did you ride here on a horse?
