THE WORD "I" by Franz Wright

Sat, 14 Jul 2001 10:47:16 -1000

Harder to breathe

near the summit, and harder

to remember

where you came from,

why you came

Winter's

harder, and harder to say

the word "I"

with a straight face,

and sleep--

who can sleep. Who has time

to prepare for the big day

when he will be required

to say goodbye to everyone, including

the aforementioned pronoun, relinquish

all earthly attachment

completely, and witness

the end of the world--

harder in other words

not to love it

not to love it so much
