Stands a child with her father,
Watching the east, the autumn sky.

Up through the darkness,
While ravening clouds, the burial clouds, in black masses spreading,
Lower sullen and fast athwart and down the sky,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“We are powerless,
dust and powder fill our lungs
our bodies blunder
through doors twisted on hinges.”
