    Make my various

    names flock overhead,

    I will follow you.

    Hew me to your beauty.

    will arise now, and go

    about the city in the streets,

    and in the broad ways I will seek…

    whom my soul loveth.

    didn’t make the world I leave you with,

    he said, and then, being poor, he left me

    only this world, in which there is always

    a family waiting in terror
