For all the years I've wandered through my life Inept at everything that matters most, Fearing without thinking of the end, Turning into dreams the loves I've lost; Years as sister, daughter, mother, wife, One beneath the selves the heavens send, Neither changed nor changeless, tempest tossed Even in dark worlds too deep for strife.
