Thanks, J.B.Rowell-


JANE KENYON
Depression

. . . a mote. A little world. Dusty. Dusty.
The universe is dust. Who can bear it?
Christ comes. The women feed him, bathe his feet
with tears, bring spices, find the empty tomb,
burst out to tell the men, are not believed. . . .

Thank you Shann - or actually - thanks to my husband for finding the poem. Are you going to write a letter to PW?
