If truth takes up
All the permanent space
The ephemeral is all
That beauty's left to be
To stand without defenses
And be willing to fade away
But not without a fatal blow
To what we call our senses
Which beauty itself installs
In our otherwise useless flesh
That we might helplessly receive it
Coming and going on the earth
Bit by bit opening us up
To more and more truth
