Why do I diminish
\nyour pure essence,
\ndearer to me
\nthan anything there is or was,
\ninto poor verse?
\nfor shelter or for show?<\/p>\n
Again for me, and not for you.<\/p>\n
Prose falls shorter still
\nand who’s its addressee?<\/p>\n
Deeds, vain too.
\nNow you are no more
\nno more are they for you
\nthan if, when you still were,
\ndone adiabatically
\nso you would never know.<\/p>\n
What is not imposture, then?
\nIf words can’t in good faith
\nembody what I feel
\nis feeling itself
\nany more true?
\nOr just another go
\nfor shelter or for show?<\/p>\n
