Tan Clam Shell with Seaweed, 1926

On sand and grace
the color of rainy day brine
where sand meets grace
and castles crumble at a pace
only outmatched by ticking time
wet grit beneath calcified fine tuning:
weeds, shell: drab grace

Two Pink Shells / Pink Shell, 1937

Twinning sweetly
blooming like a hidden opal
sitting sweetly
on the tongue with summer’s peachy
mornings, taste a swell of hopeful
growth, of pearls and other baubles
sitting sweetly

Pelvis IV, 1944

unlikely eye
sees the moon in perfect blueness
(unlikely) I
imagine curves bleached by the sky
the sun relentless in trueness
to itself: heat and light the best
all-seeing eye
