“They all came, some wore sentiments
Emblazoned on T-shirts, proclaiming the lateness
Of the hour, and indeed the sun slanted its rays
Through branches of Norfolk Island pine as though
Politely clearing its throat....”

—Cynthia Ozick (b. 1928)
“Long hours
trail in their purple
and long years are lost
in just this moment
while our souls are near,
our mouths separate.”
