Happiness
A state you must dare not enter
with hope of staying,
quicksand in the marshes, and all
with hope of staying,
quicksand in the marshes, and all
the roads leading to a castle
that doesn't exist.
But there it is, as promised,
with its perfect bridge above
the crocodiles,
and its doors forever open.
– Stephen Dunn (1988)
