You Who Read No Calm---T.Merrill
you,who read no calm reportings
of alien,distant,dire events,
but shriek and keen as loves go down
beyond all help,to violence;
whose temple's walls,storm struck and split
by sizzling bolts collapse around,
while mid the crash of chaos hope
whirls in a death-spin to the ground;
you,who alone in deep distress
cry out for help where there is none,
all you whom i shall never know;
i know a portion nonetheless
of cruel trials you undergo.
killers in many guises come;
sudden as electric shock
or looming ghostly as a shark
leisurely finning toward its mark.
i who breathless and sweating once
wrestled a devil to the floor,
and saw him rise again when he
finished what he began before,
i who re-learned each childhood prayer
forgotten,to the stars once more
send up a poor and hopeless plea
for spirit's peace beyond despair.
