Zenith

By Genevieve Taggard


From “The Way Things Go” YOU and all the bulk of the huge sky
Crush me flat, my body on the sand,
Until I fling out my hands to clutch the little grains;
Until I struggle to see the little stars;
Until I try to think	5
Of the names of little lifeless things
I can escape to, when this is over.
