One Day is there of
the Series
Termed Thanksgiving Day -
Celebrated part at
Table
Part, in Memory -
Neither Patriarch nor
Pussy
I dissect the Play -
Seems it to my
Hooded thinking
Reflex Holiday -
Had there been no
sharp Subtraction
From the early Sum -
Not an Acre or a
Caption
Where was once a Room -
Not a mention, whose
small Pebble
Wrinkled any Sea,
Unto Such, were
such Assembly,
'Twere Thanksgiving Day.
The Luxury to apprehend
The Luxury 'twould be
To look at Thee a
single time
An Epicure of Me
In whatsoever Presence
makes
Till for a further Food
I scarcely recollect to
starve
So first am I supplied -
The Luxury to meditate
The Luxury it was
To banquet on thy
Countenance
A Sumptuousness bestows
On plainer Days, whose
Table far
As Certainty can see
Is laden with a single
Crumb
The Consciousness of Thee.
