Words
If all my words
Were scattered on the sand,
To mingle with
The acres of the sea,
Just four I’d keep
To hold you at the hand…
My woman now:
‘Grow old with me! ’
5 September 1979

A nearness to Tremendousness
963
A nearness to Tremendousness—
An Agony procures—
Affliction ranges Boundlessness—
Vicinity to Laws
Contentment's quiet Suburb—
Affliction cannot stay
In Acres—Its Location
Is Illocality—
