Death is inside the folding cots:
it spends its life sleeping on the slow mattresses,
in the black blankets, & suddenly breathes out:
it blows out a mournful sound that swells the sheets,
& the beds go sailing toward a port
where death is waiting.
–Pablo Neruda

I have found the warm caves in the woods,
filled them with skillets, carvings, shelves,
closets, silks, innumerable goods;
fixed the suppers for the worms & the elves:
whining, rearranging the disaligned.
A woman like that is misunderstood.
I have been her kind.
