Coming into the World
The dew gives you drink,
the dew will bathe you,
and your heart will make
cleansed by the newborn poem.
But it weeps diligently, for it knows
that weeping is its business,
and you must learn from it,
how to come into the world,
to purify more of what you find,
tomorrow you will bathe in the dew,
give grasshoppers and butterflies to drink,
and if they don’t, you will be grateful
for being good for a moment,
out of gratitude with your poem
you remember in advance
for all the days you have lived.
