The Bells

By Eileen Chong

 

To know me. You do,

blind hand in the dark.

Light fingers, stroking

smooth. You do, I know,

 

you will – time to find,

to learn, undo. Undone,

I did not know. Beginning

and end: a tangle, release.

 

Capture. To take into,

one unto the other. The two,

the one, the count-down

to come. The bells: they sing.
