I saw in the diminishment of every

living thing the radiance of its end.

I heard in the interval, in the intake

of your breath, the cell’s pulse, the quick

and mortal pendulum.

You tell me my

dream and I’ll tell you yours.

The fleck and the pool, the bright stain,

obdurate,

left by the too-long

look at the sun—there in your eyes

I saw what lingers.

I awakened to the world as it was given.

O

Toi, toi, toi, said Peleus.

Grieving, Hecuba

barked like a dog.

O said the woman

who spoke only English,

who cast an English

zero out, a wreath

on the battering waves.

O the teeth clenched.

O a fistful of hair.
