In Passing - Lisel Mueller

[Larry Robinson]

In Passing
 
How swiftly the strained honey
of afternoon light
flows into darkness
 
and the closed bud shrugs off
its special mystery
in order to break into blossom:
 
as if what exists, exists
so that it can be lost
and become precious
 
	- Lisel Mueller
	(February 8, 1924 – February 21, 2020)
