Jag läser om klockan som sjunkit i djupet en gang. Min själ är det rörliga djupet och klockan min sång. Min dikt är en klocka på botten av havet som går. Den klämtar men ödsligt och sällan i ödsliga år. Du darrande klocklang i själen jag hörde dig nyss. En man ligger vaken med våta kinder och lyss.
