Like the sixty-first minute, or the twenty-fifth
hour,
this time will be recalled as the eleventh year of
the decade.
A leap across the breadth of a new dawn, an era of
legacy.
In six months we have grown so old; our children
cannot sleep,
and look how the light falls on the balcony, the
hospital, the street.
