faithfully tinying at twilight voice
of deathless earth’s innumerable doom:
againing(yes by microscopic yes)
acceptance of irrevocable time
particular pure truth of patience heard
above the everywhereing fact of fear;
and under any silence of each bird
who dares to not forsake a failing year
—now, before quite your whisper’s whisper is
subtracted from my hope’s own hope,receive
(undaunted guest of dark most downwardness
and marvellously self diminutive
whose universe a single leaf may be)
the more than thanks of always merest me
