[A soft light rising above the level meadow,
behind the bed. He takes her in his arms.]
He wants to say I love you, nothing can hurt you

but he thinks
this is a lie, so he says in the end
you’re dead, nothing can hurt you
which seems to him
a more promising beginning, more true.
Louise Glück, from “A Myth of Devotion”
