smoke rings round the moon
The merchant builds
a home
with blueprints
and smokes
a finely-shaped cigar
The bird builds his nest
in a tree
overlooking the canopy
and makes
the entire wilderness
his shelter

The juxtaposition of two
The juxtaposition of two lives is very subtle in this poem, which takes a very conversational tone, but the power of the juxtaposition is undeniable and very convincing.
Enjoy effulgent days, and exquisite nights,
unto the exultations of Heaven.
