From The Fleeing Atalanta



God gives a candle
To his children afraid of the dark
How can you die, it says
When this between you lives forever
The candle is hard to maintain
Superfluous in the light
Nearly all prefer to blow it out
But they find with night's onset
It is not so easily rekindled

Jeer if you like at my obsession with love
When dying swine, you will all reach up
Desperate trotters for the same pearl
