Poem of Night

...You lie here now in your physicalness,
This beautiful degree of reality.

...And now the day, raft that breaks up, comes on.

I think of a few bones
Floating on a river at night,
The starlight blowing in a place on the water,
The river leaning like a wave towards the emptiness.

~Galway Kinnell
