643

I could suffice for Him, I knew---

He---could suffice for Me---

Yet Hesitating Fractions---Both

+Surveyed Infinity---

---

"Would I be Whole" He sudden broached---

My syllable rebelled---

'Twas face to face with Nature---forced---

'Twas face to face with God---

---

Withdrew the Sun---to Other Wests---

Withdrew the furthest Star

Before Decision---stooped to speech---

And then---be audibler

---

The Answer of the Sea unto

The Motion of the Moon---

Herself adjust Her Tides---unto---

Could I---do else---with Mine?
