from The View
No wonder there are those lights of suspicion moving
endlessly over memory and its faces
over the way of memory itself the way
of remembering which is the way of forgetting
the way of horizons the way beyond reach the way
of another which appears at times to be the only way
when not one thing one moment with its heavenly
bodies flying through unrepeated places not one
sound or shining is what it was the one time before
it was remembered when I was in the midst of it
– W.S. Merwin (1994)
