beyond the passion of memory,
amid the false illusions of fantasy,
we live in the inescapable void
of reality like two forces whose
opposition against each other deforms
any belief that our meaningless
battles have some divine healing effect
yet to be realized, which in blending
our determinations will smother
the bitter fires that fuel our hatred
and extinguish our jealous anxieties.

September 12, 1984
