kaberettI believed that I had learned
what it is to live with fear
that creeps and strangles,
patient, somehow worse than pain.
I'd thought that I would know
enough to recognise, at least,
the tracks left through my life--
but no. And in exchange,
these wondering moments, sharp and bright
and tartly sweet: and even though
they're born of grief, I find
echoes thus quelled
leave silence that is
my most blessed relief.
