For N., The Ascent, or Acquiescence
















With much toughness in body and sense
Never strident ever the mensch
she watches her progress accounts and laments 
as bright light streams out of Spring to quench
the thirst for ardor in mysterious indifference.
she ardently scratches at that palimpsest
while nature, the gods, or the city insist
that we watch and wait on this rope of suspense
confidently strung over that rickety old fence 
with a monk's repose and the mystic’s prescience.
