On the mountain tonight the full moon
faces the full sun. Now could be the moment
when we fall apart or we become whole.
Our time seems to be up—I think I even hear
it stopping.
Then why have we kept up the singing for so
long?
Because that’s the sort of determined
creature we are.
Before our, our first task is to astonish,
And then, harder by far, to be astonished.
--Galway Kinnell, Astonishment
