Swimming, One Day in August
It is time now, I said,
for the deepening and quieting of the spirit
among the flux of happenings.
Something had pestered me so much
I thought my heart would break.
I mean, the mechanical part.
I went down in the afternoon
to the sea
which held me, until I grew wasy.
About tomorrow, who knows anything.
Except taht it will be time, again,
for thwe deepening and quieting of the spirit.
