EPIGRAPH: Whenever a butterfly,
happened to fold
too violently its wings --
there was a call: silence, please!
As soon as one feather
of a startled bird
jostled against a ray --
there was a call: silence, please!
In that way were taught
how to walk without noise
the elephant on his drum,
man on his earth.
The trees were rising
mute above the fields
as rises the hair
of the horror-stricken.

EPIGRAPH: One Sister have I in our house --
And one, a hedge away.
There's only one recorded,
But both belong to me.

EPIGRAPH: I drift around my rooms and write
to shadows, thinking as I always did,
that writing only can make peace, can right
and heal that which a life made sordid.
