We become so accustomed to you,

we no longer look up

when your shadow falls over the book we are reading

and makes it glow. For all things

sing you: at times

we just hear them more clearly.

Often when I imagine you

your wholeness cascades into many shapes.

You run like a herd of luminous deer

and I am dark, I am forest.

You are a wheel at which I stand,

whose dark spokes sometimes catch me up,

revolve me nearer to the center.

Then all the work I put my hand to

widens from turn to turn.

I, 45

Ihr vielen unbestürmten Städte,

habt ihr euch nie den Feind ersehnt?

O daß er euch belagert hätte

ein langes schwankendes Jahrzehnt.
