Whenever I Go There by W. S. Merwin
Whenever I go there everything is changed
The stamps on the bandages the titles Of the professors of water
The portrait of Glare the reasons for The white mourning
In new rocks new insects are sitting With the lights off And once more I remember that the beginning
Is broken
No wonder the addresses are torn
To which I make my way eating the silence of animals Offering snow to the darkness
Today belongs to few and tomorrow to no one
