What is this ?
What is this talked-of mystery of birth?
But
being mounted bareback on the earth?
There is a kind of
crying I hope you have not experienced, and it is not just crying about
something terrible that has happened, but a crying for all of the terrible
things that have happened, not just to you but to everyone you know and to
everyone you don’t know and even the people you don’t want to know, a crying
that cannot be diluted by a brave deed or a kind word, but only by someone
holding you as your shoulders shake and your tears run down your face.
