"Above the modest house and the palace—the same darkness.
Above the evil man and the just, the same stars.
Above the child who will recover and the child who will
not recover, the same energies roll forward,
from one tragedy to the next and from one foolishness to the next.
I bow down."

I hug the dogs and their good luck, and put on their leashes. So dazzling she must be-
a plump dark lady wearing a gown of nails-white teeth tearing skin from the thick tree.

I went to Prague;
I died, and was born in the spring;
I found you, and loved you, again.
