"Memories lose their nerve endings

That I can attest to

(I also have lost great things)

And assure you

This tragedy will one day go limp

Staggering against a hopeful force

called sanity (Bless its resilience! That jokester, that

snow leopard!)

Falling at its feet

As a soupy beige matter

That you will eventually come to name,

a phase

(Hallelujah)"
