Cold

When the phantoms are gone and the shaken realist
First sees reality. The mortal no
Has its emptiness and tragic expirations.”

Cuts through the wall like a knife,
Then blind, drying, and small
And driven to cold water,
Dies of the water of life....”

What instruments we have agree
The day of his death was a dark cold day.”
