If it is slow and it reddens and cannot bear weight
and it is soluble in prisms and drinking glasses
If it is vast and unshirking and resonant
and it is visible for miles; if it dogs your steps
If it is innumerable and particulate and it hurts
and you can lie down next to it at night
and not hear it leave through the open window
rest, companion. You may walk upright
here, you may spend as long as you need
dumbly examining the buttons of your coat.
