A 516: etext transcription

< a516.txt.1; poem >
We talked with
each other about
each other
Though neither of
us spoke -
We were listening
to the seconds
Races
And the Hoofs of
the Clock -
Pausing in Front
of our Palsied
Faces
Time compassion
took -
Arks of Reprieve
he offered to us -
- Ararats - we took -
