it's not that his life passes to the shadow—

but a tipping happens, as in an hourglass.

There is a white stone cliff
over a dropping slope
sliced along with bare trees

In the center of the cliff
is a round dry fountain of polished stone.

By seizing my whole body up as I clench my hand
I am able to open the fountain
into a drain, revealing below it the sky,
the trees, a brown and uncertain ground.

This is how my heart works, you see?
This is how love works?
Have some sympathy for the great spasms
with which I must open myself to love
and close again, and open.

And if I leapt into the fountain, there is just no telling:
I might sever myself clean, or crack the gold bloom of my head,
and I don't know what uncertain ground I might fold on like a sack.
