| The Yoke
|

by Frank Bidart |
|
don't worry I know you're dead
but tonight
turn your face again
toward me
when I hear your voice there is now
no direction in which to turn
I sleep and wake and sleep and wake and sleep and wake and
but tonight
turn your face again
toward me
see upon my shoulders is the yoke
that is not a yoke
don't worry I know you're dead
but tonight
turn your face again
