BIBLE TRUTH

By Evelyn Scott

To die...

Oh, cool river!

To float there with nothing to resist —

One ripple of silence spreads out from another.

My spirit widens so,

Circle beyond circle.

I hold up the stars no longer with the pupils of my eyes.

Hands, legs, arms float off from me.

I melt like flakes of snow.

I am no more opposed.

I am no more.
