In memory of those who died We weep and walk away. Tears run into swollen streams. No trace of us remains. Even those who grieve are gone, And those that grieve who grieve, And those whose lives are ravaged by A frantic urge to be, And those who wander silently Among the empty rooms: Immortality is theirs, Though they must vanish, too. We bear astonished witness to The passage of the soul. No bridge exists that can connect Our passion to the whole.
