No good coming into this world
If you don't intend to love it
At the first door nothing
But an endless blue sky
At the second and third the same
And at the fourth a starry night
The first animals descending
Exiles and guests of the earth
Profligate and then removed
While we keep foraging on
I tremble to open the next
Radiant light pouring through the hinges
How long can my birth wait
For you to visit
