I'll be brief, for we are both busy  
and the calendar Gods have laid waste to  
that idyllic peace which, if we're honest,  
is as foreign to our forebears as to us.

Yet there are moments in our backbreaking  
lives on this backbreaking Earth that, were  
we to behold them to their utmost, would  
call into question this whole endeavor:

Not just the raking of leaves, not just work  
or self-improvement, but poetry, even love.  
Rushing through the dark, a wolf snarls my  
name and I don't flinch—I just stand in awe.
