Amid the slant stones of graveyards.
Pale ghosts who planted you
Came in the night-time
And let their thin hair blow through your clustered stems.”

With the weight of this brocade,
For the sun sifts through the shade.”

You can cut, or you can drug, with words.”

I am prone before you.
Pity me,
And drench me in loneliness.”

And I speak to it of itself
And sing of it with my own voice
Since certainly it is mine.”
