" "Come to me said the world. I was standing
in my wool coat at a kind of bright portal — I can finally say
long ago; it gives me considerable pleasure. Beauty
the healer, the teacher — death cannot harm me
more than you have harmed me,
my beloved life.

Marathon
2. Song of the River
Once we were happy, we had no memories.
For all the repetition, nothing happened twice.
We were always walking parallel to a river
with no sense of progression
though the trees across from us
were sometimes birch, sometimes cypress-
the sky was blue, a matrix of blue glass.
While, in the river, things were going by-
a few leaves, a child's boat painted red and white,
its sail stained by the water-
As they passed, on the surface we could see ourselves;
we seemed to drift
apart and together, as the river
linked us forever, though up ahead
were other couples, choosing souvenirs.
