TIME DIED HERE




Dialogue


"Time died here, love, among the hyacinths.
I had this way of picking it up, feline-like purring,
By the nape --- your Mother crying a little ---
I buried Time between the dogrose and the lilies."

O, Father. Time overtakes us, and
We cower in our darkened rooms.

From Songs for My Children
