The poem, "Dogstar," is a short but powerful poem, to quote:

"Wing hard, white-stallioned time: The whirlwind sun upride Where no sheerer The crude bird dies. Hanged in the mind's eye, hold Fast—shake out The canines of God The manbird locked in God's bones Him dogstar till the phoenix hour The manbird locked Till the phoenix hour."
