Line breaks and white space.
So much time, so few words.

I do not know if the old stuff will ever make it back here, but please enjoy what is new!

 

Self-Portrait in Lazarus

March 28th, 2004 - 10:39 pm

Sleep I.
Bindings ease the ache
Of long and hostile years.
Peace I.
And Martha will move on
Long before I spend one-tenth my rest--
Long before the last.
Rest I this night
Glad only to be free from toils,
Which for no consideration
Would I take up again.
Yet in these dreams I seem to hear
You call me out
Against my wish.
Then stumble I--
I do obey into the light.
