Bergs
(or, is Trinity 3 or 3/3?)

                The wintersong, I think, in a world
                of floating crystal bergs, must be
                the fraction which floats and missions
                and the number of wives to gather gristle.

                The fraction which floats numbers one-third
                by last count. The number of wives,
                naked as missionaries, to gather gristle
                and hold through summer spermy seeds,

                Numbers two-thirds. The missionary waddles
                like a penguin, praying for converts
                to enter the paying mission igloo
                where seeds on crystal bergs are

                baptized and taught to number three.
                The wintersong, I think, numbers three-thirds.
