2 Heaven is the darkness of a moon in a mirror
|
|
rlm@109
|
3 In whose dark glass, long-lost love refracts into a promise
|
|
rlm@109
|
4 And our incipient sorrows witness their imminent conclusion
|
|
rlm@109
|
5 In mere gray inches of earth.

7 But before this framed firmament, we can merely stand and sigh
|
|
rlm@109
|
8 And see our lives begun knotted with their own undoing
|
|

11 Yet its stillness is not our stillness,
|
|
rlm@109
|
12 And beyond the burnished gleaming edges of its flat sky
|
|
rlm@109
|
13 A new sun rises
|
|
rlm@109
|
14 Gilding the vast shoreline of our memory
|
|
rlm@109
|
15 And the dawn-fogged peaks of our unflagging aspiration.
