Parading

the big dipper pouring night down over you, and everything

you dread, all you can’t bear, dissolves
you dread, all you can’t bear, dissolves
and, like a needle slipped into your vein—
and, like a needle slipped into your vein—
that sudden rush of the world. —Ellen Bass
that sudden rush of the world.
—Ellen Bass
