“What are you now? If we could touch one another,
if these our separate entities could come to grips,
clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday

and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.”

one more day
this morning, waking the world away
in the violent day.”
