-: Purgation: -
You lived
and your body
Clothed the flames of earth.
Now that the fires have burned away
And left your body cold,
I tremble as I stand
Before the chiseled marble
Of your dust-freed soul.

-: Quatrain: -
How strange that grass should sing-
Grass is so still a thing . . .
And strange the swift surprise of snow, -
So soft it falls and slow.
