blessed –

surge from death into Life; present

yourself to its Enlarging

presence -- minute Instances

of pain and disclosure

give Way to sudden Storms and

unknowing Shipwrecks -- our buoys

bob Wisely

in a distant Sea -- our Mermaids

sing to Us -- We

cut

the cords of this tight Sinew

to revive again

our hurting verities and hold

our

loved-Ones true

in this sun-blessed

Earth --
