warned by that to give
each figure in the photograph
his living name.

really I can do little,
as little now as then,
about the infernal fires—
I cannot blow out a match.

to discover you are as human as I am...
if I am.

the slender iron rungs of growing up,
I would be as young as any,
a child lost
in unreality and loud music.
