Joseph Ceravolo: Kin Pain

                                            June 18, 1987

Walk quietly into the confusion,
all murky and acid.
Ascend lovingly into the marshes
until you breathe no more.
Walk quietly into the fusion
of love and kindred pain.

Joseph Ceravolo (1934-1988): Kin Pain, 18 June 1987, from Collected Poems, 2012
