I would like to know what the way out is.
And I don’t know that way in. The future is an outside thing. The future is the serpent and the stone.
I have to know what was known.
And all the courage in the world is the stone.
What is the upper room? Why did you call me here? Would you have me be abundant, clear?
And what was it all for? My mind, this lawn, this door. And a thousand open houses. And a thousand more.
And what are we to do but love the thing inside us.
That cannot hide us.
