NO MATTER HOW WELL-DEVELOPED THE MIND
No matter how well-developed the mind
or how intelligent it is,
it still needs to live
by symbols, impressions, images,
since it knows too little
of the mystery
of its own existence.

I LET THAT PARTICULAR MOMENT PASS
I let that particular moment pass,
but I can recall it.
I can bring it back
for a spell.
I wish that I
could live it over
again,
in the full—
with what I know now.
I wish that I could grace it
with more love,
contribute more to it,
milk it for all of its beauty,
its setting,
its circumstance.
