from Tiny Figures in Snow
Locked in her room
With yellow flowers on the wallpaper
That wove and welled around her like the snow
Until she almost disappeared in them,
Rapuntzel in her cone let down the string the whole world
could have climbed to save her.
"Oh, don't save me right away," Rapuntzel said, "just visit me."
But only dead ones listened to her.
Only the dead could ever visit us this way; locked in a word,
Locked in a world that we can only exorcise, but not convey.
– John Koethe (1972)
