To Breathe<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A breath has never had
A need for nicety –
It is simply taken,
Grabbed from the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Long Night<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Morning. And I remember
You and the night –
Both soft, supple,
Smooth and unwrinkled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now you bring us coffee,
And what I see is
An old woman
Hobbling on her cane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Could it be the night
Was much, much longer
Than we ever dreamed.
Nonetheless, tonight is another night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
