All I've done to avoid my fear
Of being quiet and alone
Not for a moment or a day
But for eternity, shut up
Like a nun, in service of
Always other duties than here
No laughter or recompense
I dare myself today to allow
I'm matter. I matter.
Quietly like all chance daughters--
Objects, I accept these drawn boundaries.
All I've done to avoid my fear
Of being alone and quiet
For an eternity of other worlds
Is a delusion within an illusion.
