sarah--as the sparrow

to give life you must take life,

and as our grief falls flat and hollow

upon the billion-blooded sea

i pass upon serious inward-breaking shoals rimmed

with white-legged, white-bellied rotting creatures

lengthily dead and rotting against surrounding scenes.

dear child, i only did to you what the sparrow

did to you; i am old when it is fashionable to be

young; i cry when it is fashionable to laugh.

i hated you when it would have taken less courage

to love.
