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.
