We cannot
eliminate all human despair,
and I think
we’ve no right to try;
elimination
is to flagellate ourselves of despair
and if we
must go,
let us go in
a spirit of choice
and not the
spirit of fear;
tragedy is
not only a staged effect;
its life
begins in our lives,
a
tragic-comic sonnet,
dawn drawn
to its very last breath
until its
moment of death
-from [The Paper Womb II]
