fine lines

At the Hospital by David Ferry

"She was the sentence the cancer spoke at last,
Its blurred grammar finally clarified"


The Night Has a Thousand Eyes by Francis WIlliam Bourdillon

"The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.

The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When the love is gone"
