Fog (Carl Sandburg)

Fingers of black-velvet flame extended into a subtle, almost transparent netting toward a velvet neckband and bare-shouldered bodice. 一道道火苗似的黑絲絨伸展到纖細得幾乎透明的網紗接到絲絨領口和露肩的緊身衣上

Synonyms:	hunched, stooped, crooked
Usage:	I remember those girls merely as faces in the schoolroom,...cut off below the shoulders...by the ink-smeared tops of the high desks that were surely put there to make us round-shouldered and hollow-chested.

THE fog comes
on little cat feet.

over harbor and city
on silent haunches	5
and then moves on.
