313
What luxury in an absence
Of sense a current Lethe
A mirror blank a memory
One minute's length.
.
In the unsanctuary the tincted air does not pass
Nor a drop grace a blade;
The sun's dusk-stilled
Light shadow-harnessed.
.
No event subtracted
No grief dislodged
But an absence of attachment
A self unshelled.
