Glittering

Crying amid the glittering sea,
Naming it with ecstatic breath,
Because it had such dignity,
By the sweet name of Death.”

Sweet to the father is his first-born’s birth,
Sweet is revenge—especially to women,”

They throw around their shoulders cloaks that flash
Like a great shadow’s last embellishment.”
