V. 2. / 66.) If There Was Any Passage Through . . .




                             If there was any passage through
Barred doorways
It was because you were in me
And I had no other sides
No other walls to contain me

If there was any going
It was because you went first
Stretching back your hand
Taking mine; and I followed you
Wherever you went

If there was any freedom beyond
The furtherest rain
It was because I was in you
As no added weight to your
Burden; no, none at all

If there was any joy and delight
In the diamond-split going
It was because you gave it
And, content with me, you bound me
One with you . . . in love . . .
