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.
