See the tremble in my hands?
It is the mischievous raccoon
--a feverish imagination, dried up
as thousand suns set on it.
I am aging. Yet my soul has wrinkled
way before the nether regions of the eyes.

Yet that will end someday too. Like everything else.
After the torch-light red on sweaty faces
After the frosty silence in the gardens
After the agony in stony places
The shouting and the crying
Prison and place and reverberation
Of thunder of spring over distant mountains
He who was living is now dead
We who were living are now dying
With a little patience
