The Cloisters

You are neither here nor there, in and out of an enormous room through which known and strange things pass, all through your solitude

Postscript

And some time make the time to drive out west
Into County Clare, along the Flaggy Shore,
In September or October, when the wind
And the light are working off each other . . .
