“All you who sleep tonight
Far from the ones you love,
No hand to left or right,
An emptiness above--
Know that you aren't alone.
The whole world shares your tears,
Some for two nights or one,
And some for all your years.”

“It's not the gods
But our own hearts
We need to fear.
The evil starts
Against all odds
Not there but here.”

“A Word Of Thanks
To these I know a debt past telling:
My several muses, harsh and kind;
My folks, who stood my sulks and yelling,
And (in the long run) did not mind;
Dead legislators, whose orations
I've filched to mix my own potations;
Indeed, all those whose brains I've pressed,
Unmerciful, because obsessed;
My own dumb soul, which on a pittance
Survived to weave this fictive spell;
And, gentle reader, you as well,
The fountainhead of all remittance.
Buy me before good sense insists
You'll strain your purse and sprain your wrists.”
